Feeling a little Gil-tyWhen New York Yankees RHP Luis Gil beat the Boston Red Sox with five solid innings on June 14, his surprising ERA stood at 2.03, his WHIP at 0.98 and he had won nine consecutive decisions over 11 starts. Fantasy managers could not get enough. Gil, 26, had opened the season as a fill-in for injured ace RHP Gerrit Cole, and pitched so incredibly for two-plus months that he looked not only like a sure-fire AL All-Star, but also the leading contender for the AL Rookie of the Year award and a potential Cy Young award candidate.
So, how does everyone from Yankees fans to fantasy baseball investors feel today as Gil enters his Tuesday outing versus the Cincinnati Reds having permitted 12 earned runs over his last two outings, covering only 5 2/3 innings? It does not take much for a once-heralded pitcher to suddenly concern fantasy managers. Gil remains among the strikeout leaders for the season, but he has whiffed only three of the 37 batters he's faced over those last two starts, hitting three batters and issuing six walks. His ERA is up to 3.15.
Not surprisingly, Gil is now one of the most dropped pitchers in ESPN standard leagues, down to 82.4% rostered, and facing a Reds lineup that has been all-or-nothing lately may not inspire hope. The Reds scored 11 and nine runs in weekend wins over the St. Louis Cardinals. They were also shut out in the other two games. The inconsistent Reds, led by the tantalizing speedster SS Elly De La Cruz, strike out quite a bit and lead the league in stolen bases, while the Yankees struggle to control the running game.
We know Gil can be great, having seen it for most of the season, but now that Cole is back and with the trade deadline approaching later this month, he may be pitching for his rotation spot soon. Gil must avoid issuing free passes. There is no right answer for whether fantasy managers should trust him on Tuesday.
Everything else you need to know for Tuesday The highlight series is Baltimore Orioles-Seattle Mariners, offering the day's featured pitching matchup of RHPs Grayson Rodriguez and George Kirby. Rodriguez won four out of five June outings for the Orioles, and he has permitted more than two earned runs in only two of his last nine appearances. Only four pitchers boast more wins this season. Kirby, meanwhile, went 3-0 in June and permitted just six earned runs over five starts. He ranks seventh among qualified starting pitchers this season with a 0.96 WHIP. This may be a playoff preview. The big difference between the teams? The Orioles, despite a blowout loss on Sunday, generally do not struggle to score runs. Those looking for streaming options may wish to rely on Los Angeles Angels RHP Jose Soriano, scheduled to come off the IL to face the lowly Oakland Athletics. Soriano missed two weeks with an abdomen infection -- nothing related to his pitching arm -- and brings a hopeful 3.48 ERA and 1.18 WHIP into play, albeit with a below-average 20.3% strikeout rate. He may be on a pitch count having missed several turns in the rotation, but Soriano has performed efficiently in winning three of his past five appearances. Oh, and it is the A's. Any Coors Field game offers the hope for myriad runs to cross the plate, and anything is truly possible with the Milwaukee Brewers sending soft-tossing veteran LHP Dallas Keuchel to the mound against RHP Ryan Feltner. Keuchel permitted eight hits and five runs in his first start last week, escaping with a no-decision against the Texas Rangers. He has pitched at Coors Field twice over the course of his long career, allowing 11 runs (10 earned) over 7 2/3 total innings. Keuchel does not throw hard -- and never has -- but this is a nightmare matchup, likely to be a short one. Feltner has started seven times in Denver this season, posting a 7.43 ERA.
