6. Luis Avilan– (with ATL & LA)  1.230 WHIP,  8.0 H/9,  0.9 HR/9,  2.8 BB/9,  7.8 K/9

Avilan essentially makes my cut because he’s a lefty and I think he’s slightly better than Adam Liberatore. Not a guy I would essentially want in a tight situation, but Avilan has been a pretty solid ground-ball guy for most of his career. His home run rate is more than double his previous career high, but on days where Howell is unavailable Avilan is probably the Dodgers best lefty option.
