5 years agoSeattle Mariners starter Mike Leake shut down the Astros offense Wednesday night throwing nine complete innings of one-run ball. He gave up six hits, walked a pair, and struck out five needing 119 pitches to cap off the complete game. This start was much needed for the M's who've struggled to have their starters go deep into games recently, and the offense also got going in the 14-1 rout. Leake has strung together back-to-back excellent outings, but there's nothing here for fantasy value in anything other than a streaming option for AL-only leagues. The veteran holds a 4.30 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and has just 56 strikeouts in 81.2 IP as his poor outings tend to outweigh his strong ones. Leake can be left on waivers for his next start against the Twins and their top scoring offense.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
