Chen gave up five runs on nine hits -- three of which left the yard -- in 5.1 innings Wednesday against the Twins. He struck out two and avoided the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The Taiwanese lefty was fortunate that opposing starter Ricky Nolasco was just as bad, leaving Chen with his fourth consecutive no-decision. This season's been a decidedly mixed bag for Chen, who does own a solid 57:16 K:BB in 71 innings, but has also given up a whopping 11 homers and 36 runs, numbers that don't play in most fantasy circles. His average fastball velocity's dropped to a career low -- well more than a mile per hour worse than his marks from the last three seasons with Baltimore -- and his strand-rate luck hasn't held up like it did before. All in all, there are better fantasy options out there in mixed leagues.
