Brandon Pfaadt's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt turned in one of his best outings of the year on Thursday, limiting the Milwaukee Brewers to one run over seven innings. Pfaadt struck out 12, walked none, and allowed just two hits. His dominance in this one came out of nowhere, as he had allowed at least three earned runs in his last six starts and was just destroyed by the Brewers last Saturday, where he allowed eight runs in just 1 IP. If any fantasy managers did have them in their lineups for some reason, it turned out to be a great decision. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that many did. The 25-year-old lines up for one last start next week against the San Francisco Giants. Fantasy managers should be wary of this one good start, but consider Pfaadt as a high-risk option next week.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt made plenty of bats miss during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The right-hander recorded 10 strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings of work while allowing three runs in the blowout win. Pfaadt gave up eight hits during this outing, but he did a nice job of limiting the damage. It hasn't been a great year for Pfaadt, but he has been a nice source of strikeouts. He'll carry a 4.32 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 155/34 K/BB ratio into his next start against the Houston Astros. The high strikeout rate gives Pfaadt value despite it being a tough matchup.

Fantasy managers get another opportunity to see the workhorse (seventh in innings pitched) in action when he pitches at the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.
