EDGE Analysis
Tomlin's first two outings were quite sharp, but he was due for a regression to the mean. The soft-tossing righty delivered a 3.02 ERA accompanied by a startling 57:8 K:BB in 65.2 innings last year, but that ridiculous .199 BABIP and 90.2 percent strand rate are impossible to sustain -- particularly when you're essentially a poor man's Phil Hughes, with all the proneness to the long ball that implies. Expect mediocrity from Tomlin and you won't be disappointed.
