Hernandez has eclipsed the 230 inning plateau in five of the last six seasons. He has become a workhorse for fantasy owners and the fireballer has the potential to throw another 240-plus innings in 2015.

ERA - Clayton Kershaw: 1.88

Kershaw's ERA over the past few seasons seems to be getting lower and lower. He posted an unthinkable 1.83 ERA in 2013 and followed it up with a sensational 1.77 ERA in 2014. Kershaw should have no problem turning in another sub-2.00 ERA in 2015.

WHIP - Clayton Kershaw: 0.94

Kershaw has an insane 1.06 career WHIP, including a mark of under 1.00 in three of the last four seasons. He has mastered the art of keeping the bases empty and it is hard to believe that anyone will usurp Kershaw any time soon.

Strikeouts - Corey Kluber: 277

Kluber took the world by storm last season. He posted a sizzling 2.44 ERA to go along with a 1.09 WHIP. He also struck out a staggering 269 batters in 235.2 innings of work. He will take another step forward this season and capture his first K title.

Saves - Greg Holland: 50

Holland has now posted 45 or more saves in back-to-back seasons. Kansas City wins plenty of games by a small margin, so Holland will be just as busy in 2015. Don't be surprised to see him finish with 50 saves this season.
