Carlos Rodón DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (4-3) had another quality effort on Tuesday, hurling six innings of two-run ball and picking up his fourth win in a 15-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Rodon only allowed two hits and a walk while striking out seven. The 32-year-old has now allowed only two runs and 15 baserunners in his last 19 innings, winning each of those three starts. While Rodon tends to lose his control occasionally and also deals with home run issues, the southpaw can be absolutely dominant when he is on his game, like he is right now. This start improves his numbers to a (4-3) record, 3.43 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 52 strikeouts in 42 IP. It can be frustrating to own Rodon in fantasy, but he is a must-start pitcher because of his upside. He will look to keep the momentum in his next start, which should come next Monday against the San Diego Padres at home.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (3-3) had another brilliant outing on Wednesday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball in a 5-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians. He picked up his third win of the season. Rodon's only run allowed was unearned, and he allowed only four hits and two walks while striking out eight. After a dominant outing against the Tampa Bay Rays last time out, Rodon continued to sparkle in this one. He's racked up 17 strikeouts in 13 IP over his last two starts and has only allowed one (unearned) run on six total hits in those starts. He is a must-start in fantasy while pitching like this, and fantasy managers who roster him should be very encouraged by his past two starts. Rodon will look to keep things rolling in his next scheduled start on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon had his best start of the season on Friday, shutting out the Tampa Bay Rays for six innings in a 1-0 win. Rodon was very sharp in this one, allowing just two hits while striking out nine. Although it was mostly good for the lefty, he did walk four and had now walked 16 in just 29 innings so far this year. That's not ideal, but if he's limiting hits and striking batters out like in this one, it might not matter. All in all, it was a strong bounce-back effort for Rodon, and fantasy managers should feel better about the 32-year-old after this one.
