We are in mid-August in the Show and the Cream has risen to the top especially on the "Bump".  Now we are talking arguably the most important Stat concerning starting pitching and that is Earned Run Average (ERA). Dodger Blue's Zack Greinke not Clayton Kershaw leads the Show as we go to press with a poultry 1.58 ERA and that includes a start back in Philly where they jumped on for him six runs through the first two frames.

Let's go Top 15 in the Show in ERA:

360 Degrees...

Both Greinke and Kershaw are in the top 6 to no ones surprise but the Dodger Achilles Heel in "Winning Time" is finding a #3 and #4 to go with those two big-time front liners...

DeGrom and the "Dark Knight" dba Matt Harvey is part of a resurgence for the Mets as you cannot forget about Noah Synergaard the 3rd arm in that solid rotation...

Kazmir and Keuchel might be enough of a 1-2 punch to give the 'Stros Show an AL West Chip...

Arrieta has been at times dominant for "Maddon Ball" as the Cubbies have been playing lights out since mid-July to late-July and through August...

Price will give the 'Jays that #1 down the stretch to go with Hutchison, Buerhle, and Dickey...

Cueto's Stop in K.C. is just what I-70 Blue Hardball needed for their October Run...

Cole leads the Buccos but has slowed of late and is still a bonafide #1 as 'Burgh Hardball is back and here to stay with that Line Up...

Martinez and Michael Wacha leads the Shows' #1 Outfit and they will be tough cover come #RedOctober...

Mad Max Scherzer is doing his part but the Nats consistency throughout the Clubhouse talking every facet of the game is lacking big-time at a 58-59 as we go to press and lucky the Nats reside in the NL East...
