EDGE Analysis

Machado's eighth blast of the campaign gave the Orioles a four-run lead in the fourth inning of a winning effort. Despite getting off to a slow start with a .234 batting average, he's still an elite fantasy option, and owners can expect the batting average to improve as the season progresses.

Machado's sixth-inning blast off last year's AL Cy Young winner, Rick Porcello, was the third baseman's fifth long ball of the season. His big night also bumped Machado into second on the team for RBI (15) and runs (12). After a slow start, the All-Star has warmed up, slashing .304/.467/.652 over his last six games.

Machado wrapped up the opening month of the season slashing .224/.343/.424 with four home runs, 13 RBI and 10 runs over 85 at-bats.

EDGE Analysis

The slugger fell way short of last April's .344/.394/.667 line. In many regards, Machado's first month of 2017 was worse than any other in his career. That said, he began showing signs of life as April waned away. In his last four games, the 24-year-old went 6-for-16 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and five runs. He's also reached base safely in 11 consecutive contests. It's a safe bet to assume May will provide more Machado-like numbers.

EDGE Analysis

Slowly but surely, Machado is warming up after a miserable 7-for-44 (.159) start. The third baseman has put together a modest, yet encouraging, five-game hitting streak to bump his average above the Mendoza Line. Considering the All-Star is typically quick out of the gate, Machado's slow start to the 2017 campaign is a bit disconcerting for his overall projections. He's got a few advantageous matchups on tap for this week against the Rays and Yankees, so the opportunity exists to kick his season into high gear.

EDGE Analysis

Machado's third bomb of the season provided the Orioles with their second and final run in a shutout victory. Although the slugger is hitting just .200 this month, it's just a matter of time before he turns things around in a hurry and becomes one of the elite producers in all of baseball.
