Darvish was masterful on Monday, striking out 10 in 7 strong innings. Darvish was in full control of all his pitches, and had several of those pitches dancing against the Rockies. To top it all off, Darvish doubled off Jon Gray in the 6th inning to cap off a brilliant evening. Darvish now boasts a 1.81 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP on the season.

Darvish showed again on Wednesday why AJ Preller was justified in going out and getting him in the off-season. Darvish put up another solid line in Colorado, and now has an ERA just over 2.00 on the young season. Darvish's WHIP is still under 1, and his K/BB ratio remains solid. Darvish hasn't gotten much attention early in the year because of the brilliance of Jacob deGrom, Corbin Burnes, and Brandon Woodruff, but Darvish has certainly been one of the best pitchers in the NL this season. Darvish will get another start against the Rockies at home next week, so fantasy managers should feel more than comfortable leaving Darvish in the starting lineup for their next matchup.
