Travis Lakins Sr. To Start Against Astros On Tuesday
3 years agoBaltimore Orioles right-hander Travis Lakins Sr. will make the start on his 27th birthday on Tuesday night against the Houston Astros. Lakins has made 23 relief appearances (26 1/3 innings) for the Orioles this year, posting a 5.81 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 24/14 K/BB, but he did toss four scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays only five days ago. He has made only three starts in his major league career previously, and all three came back in his rookie season with the Boston Red Sox in 2019. Lakins has gone over two innings of relief just twice this year in his last two outings, so he's a poor bet to go deep in this ballgame. We recommend avoiding him as a streamer, especially against one of the stronger offenses in baseball.
