Outlook Zack Littell
Stream Zack Littell in Favorable Matchup Amid Nationals Rotation Injuries
Zack Littell has struggled over his last two starts, posting an 8.71 ERA for the third-place Nationals (37-35). However, with several Washington starters currently sidelined on the injured list, including Josiah Gray and Jake Irvin, his job security as a back-end starter remains perfectly safe.
Though Littell's 5.43 ERA this season represents a step back from the solid 3.94 ERA he posted last year, his excellent 1.12 WHIP over the past 30 days indicates his underlying control is still intact. Our models project him to pitch to a more respectable 4.55 ERA and 1.26 WHIP the rest of the way, pointing toward imminent positive regression.
This week, Littell is scheduled for one home start on Wednesday against the Royals. He matches up against Luinder Avila, who brings a shaky 6.19 ERA and 1.81 WHIP, making Littell an excellent option to insert into your lineup. Verdict: Stream.
