Brian Moehler has come out of nowhere to be the Astros’ most effective starting pitcher this season. He has pitched in 22 games (17 starts) for the Astros this season and he is 8-4 with a 3.83 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. He attacks the strike zone and that has made him effective because he isn’t walking batters. Moehler was a mop up man in the bullpen for the Astros last season so they weren’t expecting much out of him for 2008 but he has been the rock of the pitching staff which is amazing. Here’s to hoping that he can finish the season strong as the Astros are really playing well as a team right now.
