Vargas (8-3) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five batters during Wednesday's win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas is proving his early-season dominance has long legs with four consecutive strong outings against the who's who of the American League. He's faced the Yankees, Indians (twice) and Astros during the four-game stretch and allowed just seven runs over 25.2 innings for a 2.45 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. He's never going to pile up many strikeouts, but his 7.1 K/9 is serviceable. Vargas projects to face the Giants at AT&T Park in his next start.
