Nick Martinez To Make The Start Against Braves
4 months agoCincinnati Reds right-hander Nick Martinez is scheduled to make the start on Tuesday on the road in Atlanta against the Braves. While Martinez should go more than one inning, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be a realistic streamer, considering he hasn't started a game since May. The 33-year-old veteran hasn't gone more than three innings in any of his outings since May 26, when he went 4 1/3 frames against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves aren't as scary as a matchup as they were earlier this season, but Martinez still won't be a recommended streamer for this one. In his first year in Cincinnati, he's gone 3-5 with a 3.88 ERA (3.13 FIP) and 1.12 WHIP with a weak 18.9% strikeout rate, his lowest mark since 2017.
