Outlook Nick Lodolo

Nick Lodolo looks to stabilize his ratios as he searches for consistency in the Reds' rotation.

Lodolo has endured a rocky stretch, posting a 5.45 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over his last five starts, including a tough outing last week where he surrendered nine hits in five innings. He remains locked into a starting rotation role for a fifth-place Reds squad currently mired in a four-game losing streak and dealing with several key pitching injuries.

While his 5.71 ERA on the season is discouraging, our models project him for a much improved 4.05 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 149 innings. His strikeout upside remains intact, and if he can regain the form that led to a stellar 3.41 ERA last season, he will quickly reward patient fantasy managers.

Lodolo is scheduled for a single home start this week on June 12 against the Diamondbacks, drawing a tough matchup against Eduardo Rodriguez and his elite 2.52 ERA. Given his recent control issues and the difficult opponent, fantasy managers should park him on the bench. Verdict: Sit.
