Paxton (9-3) dominated the Astros on Wednesday, firing seven innings of one-run ball while allowing six hits, walking one batter and striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw has dominated the Astros this season, with the third-inning sacrifice fly by George Springer marking the first run allowed by Paxton in 20 innings against Houston this season. He also threw nearly 80 percent of his pitches for strikes and lowered his ERA to 3.05 on the season. Paxton now has fired six straight quality starts, a streak he'll look to continue against the Red Sox on Monday.

Paxton (8-3) gave up two runs on five hits over six innings while striking out nine in Friday's 4-2 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty fired 72 of 103 pitches for strikes while winning his third straight game and delivering his fourth straight quality start. Paxton has a 2.73 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and dominant 30:8 K:BB in 26.1 innings over that four-game stretch, but he'll face a tough test Wednesday on the road against the Astros.

Paxton (7-3) allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out nine batters through seven innings during Friday's win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

The breakout campaign continues for the imposing lefty, as Paxton sports an impressive 3.21 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 10.1 K/9. His 2.86 FIP also affirms his status as a high-end fantasy asset. Looking ahead, Paxton is locked in as a matchup-proof option and could toe the rubber again against the Athletics following the All-Star break.

Paxton (6-3) allowed a single run on two hits and two walks while striking out three batters through 6.1 innings during Sunday's win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The hard-throwing lefty is having a solid season with a 3.27 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 9.9 K/9. His 2.96 FIP suggests everything he's done to this point is sustainable, too. Paxton is in matchup-proof territory, and he projects to face the Athletics at Safeco Field in his next start.

Paxton (5-3) gave up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out nine over seven innings in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty looked more like himself in this one, especially in the early going, as he struck out six over his first three innings while sitting comfortably in the upper 90s with his fastball. He wasn't quite as sharp later in the game, and Maikel Franco's homer in the seventh ultimately sent Paxton to his third straight loss, but he matched a season high with the nine strikeouts. Paxton has been adamant in recent weeks that he is fine physically, but he felt his mechanics were off.

Paxton gave up nine hits and four runs (three earned) over 5.1 innings against the Tigers on Wednesday, striking out eight and walking two.

EDGE Analysis

He missed a lot of bats, but Paxton also saw a lot of his pitches get hit, which is why he threw 101 of them in this relatively short outing. After getting off to a red-hot start, Paxton spent most of May on the DL, and he hasn't quite been the same since returning. With his numbers having declined into mediocre territory, this might be a good time to swoop in with a buy-low offer.

Paxton (5-2) coughed up seven runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He threw only 52 of 91 pitches for strikes, and the left-hander has now walked exactly three batters and given up at least three runs in each of his last three starts, sending his ERA soaring to a still-strong 3.23. Paxton will look to turn things around Wednesday at home against the Tigers.

Paxton (5-1) took the loss Sunday against the Blue Jays, giving up four runs on eight hits over four innings. He walked three batters and recorded three strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Josh Donaldson homered off Paxton in the first and the left-hander could not recover from there, although he did not receive much offensive help either during Seattle's 4-0 loss. It was also Paxton's first loss of the season, but he has now failed to advance past 5.1 innings in all three of his starts since his return from the disabled list on May 31. Regardless, he remains one of the Mariners' top-end starters for the time being.

Paxton (5-0) gave up three earned runs on five hits, three walks and two wild pitches over five innings in Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Twins. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Although he was less than sharp, the current de facto ace of the Mariners' rotation was able to notch his fifth victory in thanks in part to some robust run support. Paxton gave up his first home run of the season to Brian Dozier in the fourth, while the three earned runs he surrendered were his second-highest total of the season. Control problems led to 96 pitches over just five frames, an early exit and Paxton issuing multiple free passes for the second time in the last three starts. He'll look to turn in a more efficient performance when he takes on the Blue Jays next Sunday.

Paxton tossed 5.1 scoreless innings while allowing three hits, zero walks and fanning six Rockies to improve to 4-0 on the season.

EDGE Analysis

This was Paxton's fist start since May 2, after missing almost a month with a left forearm strain. He was limited to 74 pitches (57 strikes) as the Mariners ease him back into action. The results matched what Paxton had been doing before the injury. For as long as he remains healthy, he should continue to provide SP1 production on a per-start basis.
