FACTS/FLUKES: Morton, Cron, Houser, G. Polanco, Gomes

Morton displays consistent skills... Even with a 4.74 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP in 2020, Charlie Morton (RHP, ATL) was expected to rebound in 2020 because his skills were still above average. Through June 25, he has rebounded in 2021. In 81 IP, the right-hander has seven wins, 93 strikeouts, a 3.68 ERA, and a 1.14 WHIP. Can he maintain this level of performance?
