Luinder Avila provides rotation depth for the Royals despite ongoing command volatility
Avila has shown signs of stabilization lately, posting a 3.60 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over his last two starts covering 10 innings. He is currently serving as the number two starter for a fifth-place Kansas City squad that owns a 38-59 record and is mired in a five-game losing streak. His role is secure primarily due to a depleted rotation currently missing several key arms including Cole Ragans, Alec Marsh, and Kris Bubic to the long-term injured list.
While his recent 3.72 ERA over the last 30 days is encouraging, his season-long 5.19 ERA and 1.66 WHIP suggest he is still walking a tightrope. The primary issue is a lack of control, evidenced by his 34 walks in just 55.5 innings of work this year. Our data projects a 4.25 ERA the rest of the way, which is a significant improvement over his current season baseline but still indicates he is a high-risk asset in most fantasy formats.
The Royals conclude their week with a three-game home set against the Padres, but Avila is not currently scheduled to take the mound during this series. San Diego presents a difficult matchup with Michael King and his 3.40 ERA slated to pitch on Friday. Since Avila does not have a confirmed start remaining for this scoring period and continues to carry significant ratio risk, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for pitching help. Sit.
