BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 12% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez has struck out 14 batters in the past 19 1/3 innings, all while allowing five total earned runs. The young lefty will get two more turns in the Astros rotation to end the regular season.
Both starts are on the road against AL East foes, first facing the Blue Jays and then the Orioles. Baltimore is 30th in team wOBA (.276) against southpaws and Toronto is 22nd in the same category (.301 wOBA). The Orioles are also 28th in runs scored (581 runs in 152 games). Also, this season, righties are batting .197 against Valdez and lefties are only managing a .136 AVG against him.
