4 years agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole allowed three runs over 4.2 innings while striking out 10 against the Rays on Saturday. A two-run home run from Jose Martinez bruised what was otherwise an excellent outing from Cole, in which the pitcher posted an impressive 21.5% swinging-strike rate, including a 20% swinging-strike rate on his four-seam fastball. Cole reportedly tweaked his mechanics for Saturday’s start, and although he didn’t last as long as fantasy players may have liked, Cole looked as good as he has all season. Fantasy players should expect Cole to continue dominating this season with an ERA below 3.00 and a strikeout rate above 30%.--Sam Chinitz
