Michael Pineda had the start of the season on Sunday, allowing one run on six hits in seven innings against the Orioles while fanning 16 batters. The performance improved his record to 5-0 with a 2.72 ERA. Most impressively, Pineda has a gaudy 54/3 K/BB ratio in 46 innings. With his performance to this point, fantasy owners have reason to grade him as a true ace.
