7 years agoSeattle Mariners starter James Paxton will take the ball Friday night against the Twins. In four career starts against Minnesota, Paxton is 2-1 with a 2.91 ERA. Paxton received a no-decision against the Twins on April 5th despite tossing five innings of two-run baseball. Paxton has been lights out in the month of May and is 2-0 with a 1.45 ERA over his last four starts. During that span, he has pitched two complete games (one of them a no-hitter), allowed only 14 hits in 31 innings while striking out 35 hitters. Paxton is must-start in all formats for Friday.--Joey C - RotoBaller
