Vargas (5-1) pitched seven scoreless innings with just three hits and a walk allowed while striking out four batters during Thursday's win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas was in cruise control throughout Thursday's outing, and he's now allowed one run or fewer in six of seven starts. With a 1.01 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and five wins, the veteran lefty has been exceptional, and his 2.17 FIP suggests there might not be significant negative regression ahead. Until proven otherwise, Vargas is a set-and-forget option. He lines up to face the Yankees in his next trip to the hill.
