Breaking down Houston Astros starter Framber Valdez

Over the last week the Atlanta Braves have faced some of the budding aces in the league in Hunter Greene and Brady Singer. However, even though we are already in mid-April already the Braves have yet to face a true out and out ace. That will change though this weekend when Atlanta takes on Bonafide ace Framber Valdez. Despite pitching to a 2.82 ERA last season along with a FIP of 3.06 across 201 u2153 innings last season, Houston Astros starter Framber Valdez still feels underrated. He did finish fifth in the AL CY Young voting last season, but the national respect does still seem to be lacking.
