Matthew Boyd Looking To Halt Tigers' Skid rotoballer.com Sat 6/30/18 6:03 AM

The Detroit Tigers have watched their losing streak reach 10 games after falling to Toronto on Friday. Starting pitcher Matthew Boyd will look to right the ship as he takes the hill Saturday. Boyd has had two straight rough outings against Cincinnati and Cleveland, and has seen his ERA climb almost a full run since the end of May. The Jays have hit lefties at a .233 clip on the year, and outrank the Tigers in terms of runs scored by a margin of 30 on the year, so it's not a sure thing for Boyd [...]

After an excellent April and solid May, Boyd has fallen flat since the calendar turned to June, posting a 6.75 ERA for the month. He's not worth much in most formats for the time being[...]

Matthew Boyd Looking To Continue Dominating At Home rotoballer.com Fri 5/11/18 6:42 AM

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd will take the bump Friday as the Tigers face off against the Mariners at Comerica Park. There is only one current Mariner who has ever faced Boyd, and only for one at bat, so there's not exactly a lot of data to draw on for this matchup. But one thing in Boyd's favor will be his numbers in his home ballpark. On the year, Boyd has a 1.47 ERA across three starts in Detroit and has struck out 14 batters in 18 1/3 innings of work. He'll look to keep that [...]
