Paul Blackburn Looking To Maintain Consistency Wednesday
1 year agoOakland A's pitcher Paul Blackburn will look to keep up his solid work in a small sample this season on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Guardians. The right-hander has made just four starts this season but has worked to a 3.48 ERA/3.84 SIERA along with a career-best 18.7% K-BB% across 20 2/3 innings of work. The former first-round pick has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his four starts with his lone blemish coming on June 4 against the Marlins when he yielded five earned runs in five innings of work. Wins will be tough to come by on a weak A's club but a notable increase in strikeout rate combined with solid run prevention and peripherals certainly puts Blackburn on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues.
