Drew Smyly has always been intriguing because of his ability to get strikeouts. He put up very enticing numbers in an injury-shortened campaign a season ago, and he’s delivered on that promise this season, basically matching those 2015 numbers.
| Smyly | SIERA | K% | BB% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 3.25 | 28.0 | 7.3 |
| 2016 | 3.28 | 28.4 | 6.3 |
The SIERA (14th) and strikeout rate (9th) rank among the game’s best so far in 2016.
Smyly will take the ball today for a home start against the Miami Marlins. With a projected point total of 30.93 points, he’s our third-ranked pitcher. We have Smyly allowing 2.48 earned runs on 5.30 hits and 1.90 walks while striking out 5.32 in 6.19 frames. The Marlins have a meager 3.3 implied run total in a game projected to have just 6.5 total runs as Jose Fernandez toes the rubber for Miami.
