Leake (4-4) held the Brewers to two runs on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts over six innings in a win Tuesday night.

EDGE Analysis

Leake had a brutal 6.03 ERA after his first six starts but has now rattled off five consecutive quality starts to bring that mark down to 3.82. He continues to thrive on control, as Leake has walked more than one batter just once in this strong stretch, fueling a crisp 20:5 K:BB in 34 innings. Leake is too much of a contact pitcher to be a strong asset in most fantasy formats, but his ability to draw ground balls and avoid walks suits him perfectly to the back end of St. Louis's rotation.
