Eovaldi (9-2) earned the win over Tampa Bay on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 6.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
This won't go down as one of Eovaldi's best starts this season, but he was staked to an early lead and cruised to the win, with the only hiccup being a four-run fourth inning by the Rays. Eovaldi is now tied with Tampa Bay ace Shane McClanahan for the MLB lead in victories on the campaign, and he hasn't been stuck with a loss since April 12. The right-hander's 2.49 ERA and 0.98 WHIP are easily on pace for the best marks of his career.

Eovaldi (8-2) allowed one hit and struck out seven over six scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi was given plenty of support early on and left with a 12-0 lead after six dominant frames. This was the right-hander's fifth scoreless outing of the season, all of which have come in his last seven starts. He's won six times in that span. Eovaldi is at a 2.24 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 77:14 K:BB through 80.1 innings over 12 appearances this season, cementing himself as one of the top pitchers in 2023. His next start is projected to be a tough one on the road versus the Rays.

Eovaldi (7-2) earned the win Monday, allowing four hits and three walks across five scoreless innings during a 5-0 win over Detroit. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi needed 95 pitches (57 strikes) to tie his season low with five innings, but he did't allow a run for the fourth time this year. Since serving up six runs to the Royals on April 12, the veteran right-hander has been dominant, surrendering just nine earned runs over his past eight starts (58.2 innings). Overall, Eovaldi sports a 2.42 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across his first 11 outings with the Rangers, which would both be career highs. His next start is tentatively scheduled for the finale of a three-game weekend set versus Seattle.

Eovaldi (6-2) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over 9 innings against the Pirates. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
It's been an incredible run for Eovaldi. He's pitched eight or more innings in four of his last five outings while tallying seven straight quality starts. The 33-year-old Eovaldi's ERA is down to 2.60 with a 0.97 WHIP and 66:11 K:BB through a league-leading 69.1 innings. The right-hander has established himself as an elite fantasy option in his first season with the Rangers.

Eovaldi allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over seven innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The runs against Eovaldi came via the long ball -- Eddie Rosario hit a two-run blast in the second inning and Ronald Acuna added a solo shot in the sixth. Prior to Wednesday, Eovaldi had given up just one homer all season. The right-hander continues to pitch like an ace for the Rangers, as this was his sixth straight quality start. He has a 2.83 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 61:10 K:BB through 60.1 innings over nine starts. Eovaldi is projected for a road start in Pittsburgh next week.

EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi came up one out short of the complete game, as he allowed a double and a walk with two outs in the ninth. Will Smith came in to close the door and preserve the shutout. Eovaldi had a 5.20 ERA after five starts, but he has been incredible recently. Over his last three outings, the righty has pitched 25.2 scoreless innings. His ERA has plummeted to 2.70.

Eovaldi (4-2) earned the win Saturday over the Angels, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out five over eight scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi was excellent for the second start in a row, and a ninth-inning eruption by the Rangers solidified his third win in his last four outings. He hasn't allowed a run in 17 innings over his last two starts, lowering his ERA to 3.22 with a 1.10 WHIP and 44:7 K:BB across 44.2 innings through seven appearances this season. Eovaldi has quality starts in four straight games, and he'll look to keep rolling in Oakland next week.

Eovaldi (3-2) earned the win Saturday, with a three-hit shutout against the Yankees. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi was handed a two-run lead in the fifth inning and made it stand up. He delivered a 113-pitch masterpiece, which included retiring the final 15 batters he faced. Eovaldi hadn't pitched past the sixth inning this season before Saturday, but he dominated a Yankees lineup without Aaron Judge. The 33-year-old dropped his ERA to 3.93.

Eovaldi did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and one walk over six innings during a 7-6 loss the Reds. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a throwing error from Josh Jung, but the Rangers responded with five unanswered runs before Eovaldi was tagged for three earned runs in the third. The right-hander was able to get through three more innings and was in line for the win until Cincinnati made a late-inning comeback. Eovaldi has gotten through six innings in three consecutive starts and currently holds a 5.20 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP with a 31:5 K:BB across his first five outings (27.2 innings).

Eovaldi (2-2) secured the victory Tuesday over the Royals, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi tossed his first quality start of the year and had a nice bounce-back game after the Royals pummeled him for six runs on April 12. He got off to an undesirable start, giving up a leadoff triple to Bobby Witt and allowing him to score on a sacrifice fly. Eovaldi wound up surrendering another run in the fourth but otherwise held the Royals in check for the majority of the game. The 33-year-old lowered his ERA to a 5.40 to go along with a 1.48 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB over 21.2 innings. He'll look to build on the strong start in a projected road matchup with the Reds next week.
