Ryan Franklin, Cardinals
Franklin has notched 7 saves this month for the surging Cardinals, who now have a death grip on the NL Central race (Baseball Prospectus’ Postseason Odds have the Cards with a near-90% chance of taking home the division title). The four-pitch reliever racked up three saves this past week, with 2.2 spotless innings. To his credit, Franklin is garnering swings off the plate (29.3 Outside-Swing%) and he’s getting ahead of hitters (68.3 First-Pitch Strike%). Still, a microscopic .219 BABIP, a 3.9 HR/FB% and a near-92% rate of stranding base runners suggest he has also been exceedingly fortunate.
