Stroman (8-4) scattered five hits and a walk over 7.2 scoreless innings in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Orioles. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw a career-high 119 pitches (70 strikes) in the dominant outing, generating 11 groundball outs versus only two flyouts to lower his ERA to 3.41. Stroman rebounded nicely from a rough road start against Texas, but he faces a tough task in his next trip to the mound Monday in Yankee Stadium.

Stroman (7-4) allowed seven runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five batters over just four innings during Thursday's loss to Texas. He also allowed a season-high three home runs.
EDGE Analysis
Stroman had pitched into the sixth inning in each of his previous eight starts and posted a 2.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP during that stretch, so it's probably best not to overreact to Thursday's stinker. Texas owns a dangerous lineup, and Globe Life Park in Arlington is a hitter-friendly venue, after all. Stroman will look to rebound against Balitmore at Rogers Centre in his next start.

Stroman (7-3) took the loss Saturday against the White Sox despite allowing just three earned runs over 7.0 innings. He struck out five batters and issued one walk, but he gave up three solo home runs.
EDGE Analysis
It was an uncharacteristic outing for Stroman as Saturday marked the third time in 14 starts that he's allowed multiple long balls. He was relatively effective otherwise, hitting the five strikeout mark for the sixth time in seven outings. Stroman will have a tough test next time out as he'll get the nod Thursday in Texas.

Stroman (7-2) dealt seven very strong innings, allowing one earned run on six hits and no walks while striking out a half dozen in Saturday's victory over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday marked Stroman's third straight quality start and ninth of the year (13 starts). Dating back to April 23, the right-hander is 6-0 with a 2.77 ERA and 53 strikeouts over 61.2 innings. Through a third of the 2017 season, he ranks in the AL's top-10 for wins, innings pitched and ERA. Stroman has a date with the White Sox for his next start Saturday.

Stroman allowed two runs on five hits and one walk across six innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Yankees. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Stroman contained the dangerous opposing lineup for the most part, pitching effectively to contact and allowing just one extra-base hit. A pair of RBI from Matt Holiday in the fourth and sixth innings represented the only damage done against hit, but the offense failed to provide him support until Justin Smoak's game-tying home run in the bottom of the sixth, removing any chance for him to earn his fourth consecutive win. Stroman struggled in his first start in May, but he has since allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of six starts to lower his ERA to a shiny 3.25 ahead of Saturday's start against the Mariners.

Stroman wrapped up May with a perfect 4-0 record over six starts (32.1 innings).
EDGE Analysis
Although he was perfect in May, Stroman's splits were actually down from the campaign's first month. The right-hander earned better marks in April for walk rate, WHIP and FIP. Still, owners can't complain with the 26-year-old's overall performance this season. His 93.5 mph fastball is up to its best average since his rookie year in 2014. Furthermore his 61.6 percent groundball rate is second-best in all of MLB (behind Dallas Keuchel), and Stroman hasn't lost a game since April 18 (eight starts).

Stroman (6-2) limited the Reds to two runs on five hits over six innings while striking five in Monday's victory.
EDGE Analysis
Memorial Day marked Stroman's seventh quality start of the year (11 games). He now ranks third in the AL for wins, and seventh in the league for innings pitched (68.2). The young right-hander is also one of just three pitchers with two complete games on record this season. Stroman is slated to make his next start Sunday versus the Yankees.

Stroman (5-2) allowed four runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five batters over 5.2 innings during Wednesday's win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
While it wasn't Stroman's sharpest outing, the Brewers are a tough matchup at home with a .344 team wOBA at Miller Park. He's also held opponents to two runs or fewer in seven of 10 starts, so escaping with the win without his best stuff was a nice fantasy bonus. Stroman sports a serviceable 3.30 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 7.3 K/9 for the year, and with the Blue Jays starting to provide more run support over the past few weeks, he should continue padding the wins column. Another difficult matchup against the Reds is on deck for Storman.

Stroman (4-2) allowed no runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings on Thursday in a 9-0 win over Atlanta. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't Stroman's most efficient effort as he needed 103 pitches to get through 5.2 innings, but the Toronto bats gave him all the run support he needed to pick up the win. The 26-year-old also helped his own cause with an opposite-field solo shot in the fourth inning. Stroman looks to be finding his groove, as he has a 1.02 ERA in his last 17.2 innings pitched. He'll toe the rubber again on Wednesday at Milwaukee.

Stroman allowed two earned runs on eight hits and two walks in a win over the Mariners Saturday. He struck out nine.
EDGE Analysis
It was a sharp performance for Stroman, but his offense couldn't get it going until after his departure and he was stuck with the no-decision. This was his second straight quality start after being tagged by the Yankees on May 3, a promising sign for fantasy owners who have been frustrated by the 26-year-old's inconsistency. He will look to keep the momentum going on Thursday at Atlanta.
