Tyler Anderson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Anderson was impressive in Thursday's victory versus the New York Yankees. The left-hander tossed six frames and allowed three hits, one run, one walk and struck out seven to improve to 9-10 on the season. The only blemish from the veteran on the evening was a solo home run to the red-hot Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the bottom of the second inning. The veteran continues to slide under the radar with a 2.99 ERA on the season to go along with a respectable 1.15 WHIP and 12 quality starts. Anderson still isn't a must-start in all matchups, but he can be depended on more times than not, Next up for Anderson will be a date at home against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Anderson allowed a three-run home run to Shea Langeliers in the first inning of Saturday's contest with the Oakland Athletics, but those would end up being the only runs the A's would need to secure a 3-1 victory over the Halos. The southpaw settled in after the first inning, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters, posting his 11th quality start on the season. The 34-year-old is having a great season so far, posting a 2.96 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 21 starts, collecting eight wins along the way. His FIP is 4.34 and SIERA is 4.77, but those have been higher than his ERA all season and he's been able to stave off regression to this point. His next start will come at home on Friday against the Mets.

The Los Angeles Angels are expected to trade relievers Carlos Estevez and Luis Garcia, but unless they receive overwhelming offers this summer, they will likely hang onto outfielder Taylor Ward and starting pitchers Tyler Anderson and Griffin Canning. Anderson's stock is on the rise after allowing only three hits in eight shutout innings in his last start on Saturday at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. All three players remain under team control through at least the 2025 season. Ward banged up his knee crashing into the outfield wall in Sunday's loss to the Cubbies and was held out of Monday's lineup against the Texas Rangers, but he expects to return on Tuesday. The 30-year-old is hitting just .238 (76-for-320) on the season but does have 14 home runs, 44 RBI and a .740 OPS and will get more protection when Mike Trout (knee) returns, hopefully at the end of July.
