4 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Cole Irvin had a rough outing on Wednesday, allowing nine hits and four runs to the Angels in a no-decision. Irvin was hit hard early in the game as he allowed three runs in the first inning before serving up a homer to Shohei Ohtani in the second. He settled down after that and lasted into the sixth inning, but ran into trouble and was lifted from the game, one out shy of qualifying for the win. The left-hander won't pick up a ton of strikeouts as his 17.1 percent strikeout rate is among the lowest among MLB pitchers. As a result, his fantasy upside is limited to being a streaming option when he has a good matchup. His next scheduled start qualifies as he'll take on a weak Rangers lineup.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
