Granted, Julio Teheran was already hot and owned in the majority of Fantasy leagues, but because the one reason for skepticism with him was hittability, Wednesday's no-hit bid against the Pirates was an eye-opener.
Coming into the game, he had allowed 10.0 hits per nine innings while recording just 6.3 strikeouts per nine this season. Not what you'd expect from a hard-throwing phenom. But with just one hit allowed and 11 strikeouts over eight shutout innings Wednesday, he's now averaging 6.7 hits and 7.4 strikeouts per nine to go along with a 2.11 ERA over his last six starts. That's much more convincing.
I don't know what the Braves do when Brandon Beachy returns from the DL, but shipping out Julio Teheran no longer seems like a viable option. If you've been holding off on him in the 18 percent of leagues where he's still available, better act now.
