This article is part of our Weekly Pitcher Rankings series.
Who had the Red Sox leading the league in ERA with the Astros only ahead of the Astros? Yeah, me neither.
Remember when the pre-universal DH was avoiding AL pitching? Well, the top seven team ERAs are courtesy of the Junior Circuit.
Anomalies of this nature are why it's too early to panic about pitching ratios. Fantasy league corrections will piggyback normalizations in the real thing.
By means of your weekly reminder, the schedules are pulled from the Probable Pitchers page, so please direct rotation questions over there. I'm always happy to address rankings queries in the discussion below.
