Carlos Rodón DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon had a strong outing in Thursday's 1-0 victory over the visiting Texas Rangers in the Bronx, throwing six scoreless innings on two hits allowed, two walks and eight strikeouts for his sixth win of the season. Rodon led the Yankees to their third series sweep of the year and lowered his season ERA to 2.88 with the strong outing in the series finale. The 32-year-old veteran southpaw was 1-3 with a 5.48 ERA in his first four starts of the year, but since then he's been dominant, going 5-0 with a 1.47 ERA in his last seven outings. He used 38 sliders and 37 four-seam fastballs while throwing in 21 changeups and nine curveballs. Rodon is in midseason form at the moment and has allowed one or fewer runs in three of his last four starts. After a rough first year in pinstripes in 2023, Rodon appears to be settling in two years later.

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.
