Indians' Dan Otero: Sterling option for Indians

Otero has allowed two runs with 10 strikeouts over nine innings of work during July.

Analysis:

In his first year with the Indians, Otero has a team-best 1.18 ERA and has seen his strikeout rate skyrocket to 8.5 per nine innings. He had 5.3 K/9 in his previous three seasons and continues to be a force in middle relief, but he has had just two save chances this year.
