BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 35% of leagues
ANALYSIS: After back-to-back starts where he allowed five earned runs apiece, Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez shut down the powerhouse Yankees offense in his last outing, pitching five scoreless innings while allowing one hit and striking out eight batters. He has now struck out at least eight batters in two consecutive starts.
Rodriguez will be a two start pitcher this week, as he will face both Baltimore (May 15) and Oakland (May 20). Both teams are in the top ten in team strikeouts this season, a good sign for a strikeout pitcher. The Orioles are also 28th in runs scored this season (138 runs in 37 games). Rodriguez has already faced Baltimore on April 13th, allowing one earned run in six innings and striking out eight batters. He might even be a player to hold on to behind this week, as he has been improving command on all of his pitches.
