From Rotoworld: Meyer allowed two hits with a walk over six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts in a win against the Royals on Saturday. Meyer evened his record at 3-3 after the quality start. He has three quality starts over four June outings, lowering his ERA from 5.79 to 3.52 just since May 20. Meyer has also rolled up 19 strikeouts over the past 16 2/3 innings, although he is still a risky play in most mixed formats.
Porcello was tagged for seven earned runs, 10 hits and a walk with just three strikeouts over six innings in a road loss against the Astros on Saturday. The defending American League Cy Young Award winner has had an awful season to date, posting a 3-9 mark and 5.05 ERA through 15 starts with a dismal 1.53 WHIP. He is winless since May 23 and he hasn’t won on the road since May 6 in Minnesota. Porcello will look to get untracked Friday at Fenway Park against the Angels.
