Skaggs (1-1) threw seven innings of two-run ball Saturday, walking two and striking out four in a win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The young southpaw has turned things around recently, going seven innings in both of his last two starts, bringing his ERA back down to a respectable 4.44 in the process. Skaggs mixed and matched his pitches well in this one, keeping the ball low and inducing two inning-ending double plays. While fantasy owners are always looking for strikeouts, keeping opposing hitters off balance and inducing weak contact (only one extra-base hit surrendered Saturday) can produce positive results in the ERA category. The 25-year-old has shown inconsistency in the past, so it wouldn't be wise to consider him a must-start going forward, especially with a matchup against the Rangers in Arlington looming Friday.
