Its the start of the MLB season and already some pitchers have come to the forefront. Who looks good and has the support to win a slew of games? You may want to wager on these guys all season long. However, before you decide to drop some money on any pitcher, youll need to consider some variables other than that particular hurlers stats.
In putting together this list of four pitchers who have a strong chance of winning every time they take the mound, consideration has been given to each hurlers earned run average, his clubs ability to generate runs and the teams bullpen situation.
