Odorizzi (1-2) notched his first win of the year Wednesday against Toronto, though he only lasted five innings, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out just two.
EDGE Analysis
The win against a tough offense is nice, but both hits Odorizzi allowed were homers -- he's now given up five long balls in his last nine innings. Meanwhile, his strikeout rate has stalled out badly since his 10-whiff season debut against these same Blue Jays. He's struck out four or fewer hitters in five of his eight starts and has just eight strikeouts in total over his last three outings. Odorizzi's track record of high strikeout totals will get him plenty of leash from his fantasy owners, but he's certainly a long way from the breakout we hoped was imminent this year.
