Outlook Shane Baz

Shane Baz looks to build on a dominant June stretch in a highly favorable road matchup.

Shane Baz has been locked in recently, posting a stellar 2.60 ERA and 28 strikeouts over his last 31.2 innings. He is slotting in as a mid-rotation staple for the fourth-place Orioles (37-42), who are currently riding a two-game win streak. His rotation security is absolute with Baltimore's starting staff plagued by injuries to Zach Eflin and Chris Bassitt.

This recent stretch is a major step forward compared to his 4.07 season ERA and overall career baseline. While our season model projects a 4.13 ERA and 1.25 WHIP, Baz's improved fastball command and nasty knuckle-curve whiff rates suggest his recent surge is a legitimate step forward rather than a fluke.

Baz is scheduled for a single start on June 23rd on the road against the Angels. Our weekly model projects a highly efficient performance, calling for eight innings of work with a 2.57 ERA and a microscopic 0.90 WHIP. He is a must-play option this week, so lock him in as a confident Start.
