The Mid Summers Classic is right around the Corner and it is time to bring out all the Stops. What is the one thing in the Show outside of the Bomb or a No-No (No-Hitter) that can get everyones attention. You guessed it the Strikeout...Looking or Swinging.

Introducing the Show's Top Strikeout Artist, Duo's and Trio's through July 3, 2012 is sponsored by....If I had to see this Dude or Dudes everyday on the Mound I would have stayed in A-Ball:

TOP 4 K TRIO

1. Cain/Lincecum/Bumgarner Gigantes 305 (22-15) Combined

2. Dickey/Gee/Santana Amazins 302 (23-12) Combined

3. Kershaw/Billingsley/Cuapano 296 (19-15) Combined

4. Shields/Price/Moore Rays 289 (24-14) Combined

Those Top Duo's are the Frontline Starters you need to make a deep run to the Fall Classic in the Show Winning Time. Tigers, Nats, Gigantes, and Amazins' represent 2 of the 6 Division Leaders.

There is also a direct correlation Between K's and Staffs W-L Records. Both the Amazin's and Rays are at least Double-Digits over with their Top 3 on their Staffs.

The Boys in Blue have finally felt the absence of OF Star Matt Kemp and now it is starting to take its toll on Good Starting Pitching with no Run Support and Billingsley' lackluster 4-8 Record.

The Gigantes Strikeout Leaders in Trio's but Lincecum's W-L is absolutely keeping them in the Almost Dominant Category.
