2. J.A. Happ – TOR
Ownership: 51 percent
What do J.A. Happ and the previous player on this list have in common? Aside from playing for two offensively gifted AL East teams that provide them with ample run support, Happ and Wright are in an elite class of only three pitchers to have recorded a quality start in every one of their outings thus far on the season. The third is Detroit’s Jordan Zimmermann.

Happ is 4-0 with a 2.50 ERA. His strikeouts are down from last year, but if your league uses quality starts or wins as a statistical category, you can’t go wrong picking Happ up.
Not only is he spinning quality stuff right now, but he has the ninth most run support of any starting pitcher in the league, meaning he will be in line for lots more wins with the Blue Jays, should his high efficiency levels continue through May.
Another Blue Jay who might be worth a look as well is Aaron Sanchez, who is 2-1 with a 2.82 ERA so far. He is owned in only 76 percent of leagues and has 34 K’s in 38.1 IP, having logged five QS.
