Carrasco (9-3) allowed just a single run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven batters through seven innings during Saturday's win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
This was a reassuring rebound following Monday's rough outing against Texas on the road. Carrasco has allowed two runs or fewer in 11 of 16 starts this season and sports a high-end 3.50 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 9.5 K/9 for the year. He lines up to face the Tigers in a repeat matchup at Progressive Field in his next start.

Despite escaping with a 4-1 record in June, Carrasco posted an uninspiring 5.01 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 32.1 innings over five starts.
EDGE Analysis
The righty's performance in June was way off what he showed in the campaign's first two months. Carrasco's effort over the last 30 days ballooned his ERA from 2.89 to a season-worst 3.67. Overall, owners of the 30-year-old have to be happy with the pitcher's performance thus far. Carrasco opens May ranked in the AL's top five for wins (eight) and WHIP, while his 96 strikeouts place ninth in the league.

Carrasco allowed eight runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven batters through just 3.1 innings during Monday's win over Texas. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
This was just the fourth time in 15 starts that Carrasco has surrendered more than three runs in a game, and Texas boasts a dangerous lineup, so it's probably best not to overreact to Monday's showing. Even following the disastrous outing, Carrasco sports a rock-solid 3.67 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 9.5 K/9. He'll look to rebound in his next start against Detroit at Comerica Park.

Carrasco (8-3) pitched six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts during Wednesday's win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
The dominant showing has Carrasco sporting a 2.99 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 9.2 K/9 for the year. He's now allowed just three runs through 17.2 innings over his past three outings, and appears to have settled in as a high-end asset going forward. Carrasco projects to face Texas at home in his next start.

Carrasco (7-3) picked up the win against the Twins on Friday, allowing one earned run over 6.1 innings. He struck out seven and walked three.
EDGE Analysis
A sixth-inning home run from Eddie Rosario served as the only blemish on Carrasco's line Friday night. He finished strong against a lineup he usually struggles with, evidenced by his 3-7 lifetime record against Minnesota. The right-hander lowered his ERA to 3.21 on the season and has won his past two starts.

Carrasco (6-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk across 5.1 innings during Sunday's win over the White Sox. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
While he allowed more baserunners than he has grown accustomed to, Carrasco worked around trouble quite effectively until the sixth, when he allowed a two-run double to Todd Frazier just before his removal with one out. Though he was pitching on eight days' rest, stamina appeared to be an issue for the right-hander, who was removed as he began to fade after just 85 pitches. Carrasco still pitched relatively well despite his inability to get deeper into the game, and got back into the win column after a poor showing in his previous start. Now the owner of a 3.36 ERA and a sharp 1.00 WHIP, Carrasco will look to build on this effort Friday against the Twins.

Carrasco will have his next start pushed back to Sunday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Rain interfered with Sunday's contest in Kansas City, forcing manager Terry Francona to shuffle his rotation for this week's slate. It's not a major deal for Carrasco, as he was scheduled to take on the White Sox in a one-start week to begin with.

Carrasco (5-3) allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take the loss Saturday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco was cruising through four innings with a 3-0 lead, but he quickly fell apart in the fifth inning, leading to his third loss of the year. He's allowed at least four runs in three of his last four starts to raise his ERA from 1.86 to 3.36, and although his overall numbers are still strong, fantasy owners should at least consider benching him until he gets back on track. He'll make his next start Saturday against the White Sox.

Carrasco went 3-0 with a 3.90 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over five starts in May.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't quite as dominant of a month as April, but it was still a dandy for the right-hander. The biggest difference was a 71.4 percent strand rate in May, nearly 25 point lower than his mark in the campaign's opening month. Carrasco ranks well above average in command (2.2 BB/9) this year while dishing out one of the better average fastballs (93.9 mph) in the league. History suggests the right-hander will only get better as the weather warms up. Over his seven MLB seasons, June has traditionally been one of Carrasco's strongest months of the year.

Carrasco (5-2) allowed two runs on four hits (two home runs) while walking one and striking out seven over seven innings in Monday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco took a shutout into the seventh inning to win his third straight decision, and the only runs he allowed came on solo shots by Yonder Alonso and Ryon Healy. The right-hander has not lost a start since April 28 and lowered his ERA to 2.89 with the 101-pitch effort. It's an encouraging sign after Carrasco allowed nine runs in 10 innings over his last two starts and shows that he's fully healthy after missing a little time with a pectoral ailment. Home runs can be an issue (14.3 percent HR/FB), but the rest of his peripherals are rock-solid.
