Smith allowed two earned runs on three hits and no walks while striking out seven across five innings Tuesday against the Tigers. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Smith continued to showcase his impressive ability to generate strikeouts, inducing 17 swinging strikes on 89 total pitches. Despite the relatively short outing, he's recorded at least seven strikeouts in all but one of nine starts this season. As a result, he's racked up an impressive 71 punchouts in 53 innings, good for a 12.1 K/9. He'll look to keep those strong results going in his next outing, likely to come Sunday at Washington.

Smith (3-1) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings, taking the loss in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Rays. He struck out eight batters.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins were unable to string any offense together in support of their ace, as Smith suffered his first loss of the season. His ERA rises slightly to 2.25 with a 0.92 WHIP over 48 innings this season. Smith has yet to allow more than three runs in a start this year, and will look to keep that run going in Detroit next Tuesday.

Smith won't make his scheduled start Sunday against the Mets after the contest was postponed due to inclement weather in New York.
EDGE Analysis
The two teams will make up the postponed game as part of a doubleheader Aug. 5. The Marlins haven't announced how the cancellation will impact their pitching schedule, but it's expected that Smith will merely get pushed back to start Miami's next game Tuesday against the Rays at home.

Smith allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out 11 across 6.2 innings Tuesday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Smith stumbled a bit early -- he allowed an earned run in the first and third innings -- but shut down the Cubs' offense for the remainder of his start. He also continued to prove plenty deceptive to opposing batters, generating 15 called strikes and 20 swinging strikes. Smith continues to make the case to be considered a fantasy ace, pairing a 0.89 WHIP and 2.11 ERA with 56 strikeouts across 42.2 innings this season. He'll draw a road matchup against the Mets in his next start on Sunday.

Smith (3-0) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out eight in a 4-2 victory over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
A potential pitcher's duel with Corey Kluber never materialized, as the Cleveland ace got knocked out of the game by a line drive up the middle that fractured his forearm, but Smith held up his end of the bargain. The southpaw will take a 2.00 ERA and 45:9 K:BB through 36 innings into his next start Tuesday, on the road against the Cubs.

Smith allowed one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out eight across six innings Thursday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Smith labored through a 33-pitch first inning -- J.T. Realmuto's at-bat lasted 16 pitches -- but made quick work of the Phillies' lineup thereafter, recording his fourth straight quality start. His eight punchouts were supported by an impressive 19 swinging strikes, and he has racked up 37 strikeouts across 29 innings this season. He'll look to keep things going in his next start, likely to come Wednesday against Cleveland.

Smith allowed three runs on four hits, struck out seven and walked two across six innings during a no-decision against the Braves on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Curtis Granderson took Smith off the hook with a solo homer in the ninth. Smith doesn't have a decision this season, but like last year, he's been striking out a plethora of hitters, recording 15 punchouts through 11 innings. Smith also owns a 4.09 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in two starts. His next outing is expected to be against the Phillies.

Smith tossed five innings Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while taking a no-decision in the loss to the Mets. He struck out eight batters.
EDGE Analysis
Overall it was a strong 2019 debut for Smith who registered a 3.8 BB/9 last season. He was tagged for an RBI double by Jeff McNeil in the second inning and then let J.D. Davis score on a wild pitch in the fourth. The 6-foot-2 southpaw figures to be one of Miami's top starters this season. Smith should face the Braves on Sunday.
