Let's start with Zach Eflin as we look ahead to two start weeks in fantasy baseball. Zach Eflin
00:05
has three straight wins for the O's, but he's got two tough matchups here potentially. The first one
00:11
against Ryan Pepeo, who's been pretty solid in the last six weeks. The Tampa Bay Rays, as George
00:16
mentioned, are now going to be the road warriors this summer. And then on the road against Clark
00:21
Schmidt, two road starts here for Zach Eflin. The second one against the Yankees here in that
00:27
itty bitty ballpark that's known as Yankee stadium. Now F1, not a guy that's racking up the
00:32
strikeouts, just 36 Ks and 53 innings this year, George, that's not spectacular, but he does
00:38
have a 109 whip and that ERA has come down to 408. He is the quote unquote default ace of
00:44
the Orioles, which isn't great for the Orioles, which is why their record is what it is. But
00:49
George, would you start Zach Eflin on the road for these two starts against Tampa and the
00:54
Yankees this week in fantasy? First of all, let me correct you. You said the itty bitty
00:58
ballpark that is Yankee stadium. It's the itty bitty right field. Left field is actually one of the
01:03
biggest in major league baseball. People will forget that a lot, by the way. That being said,
01:08
I'm starting Eflin. He's given a four earned runs in his last three starts. I already brought out to
01:13
you that the Yankees are not scoring right now. I said, I don't know what the Yankees are going to be
01:16
doing in a week from now. That's pretty much when Eflin's going to start against them next Saturday or
01:20
Sunday there, but I'm starting them. I'm probably more worried about the Tampa Bay start than I am
01:24
Yankee Stadium right now, you know, because the Rays are hitting the cover off the ball.
01:29
All right. They're hitting that. That's why they're playing so well right now. We know they can pitch.
01:32
You know, you think about the Rays. We all get on the race because they were the opener. They were
01:38
rooting baseball by throwing the opener. The Rays starting pitchers are averaging the most innings
01:43
in baseball. Go figure. All right. They've gone away from those. They've gone away from those
01:49
openers, right? They've got good starting pitching now, guys who are actually starting the game now.
01:53
So I'm probably more worried about the Rays start than I am the Yankee start. But that being said,
01:56
he's hot. He was supposed to be better than maybe he's starting to realize what he was coming into,
02:00
what we thought he'd be coming into the season here. Yes, I'm starting Eflin. I may not say
02:04
with confidence, but I'm starting him.
