3 years agoHouston Astros starter Cristian Javier turned in another solid performance in Arlington against the Texas Rangers on Thursday. Allowing three earned runs across seven full innings, Javier put in the exact kind of performance fantasy managers want when their starters have an off night. The flamethrower managed to strike out six while working around a Willie Calhoun solo homer in the first, and two RBI outs in the second and third innings. Getting stronger as the game goes on is often a trait that is exclusive to elite starters, so this type of start has plenty of value to managers looking beyond the box score. Javier should face off against the Athletics in Oakland in his next start and is very close to becoming an every-start pitcher. He absolutely has the green light against the Athletics, so obviously get him in your lineups.--James Vecchio
