Sporting a 3.31 ERA and 1.29 WHIP to go along with a 10-8 record, Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran is having a great season.
Interestingly, it might arguably be the fourth-best of his career. In 2016, he went 7-10 with a 3.21 ERA, in 2013, he posted a 3.20 ERA and a 14-8 record and in 2014, he went 14-13 with a sparkling 2.89 ERA.
Nonetheless, Teheran has been a reliable option for the Braves, who stand in 1st place in the NL East. He will start tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Colombian righty faced the Phillies just once this season (on March 28th) and punched out seven while allowing three earned runs in 5.0 innings of work.
Last time out, he dominated the Washington Nationals, throwing 6.0 innings while allowing three hits and an earned run while striking out eight.
"After 30 starts and seeing what I've been doing and the consistency I've been having, just proud of myself and the work that I've been doing."

His consistency has been remarkable overall.
Most games of 5+ innings and 1 or fewer earned runs allowed in 2019 so far:
