From Rotoworld: Bailey yielded two runs over six innings in a loss to the Marlins on Friday. Bailey held the Marlins off the board after giving up two runs in the first inning. He fanned three and walked a pair in the loss. It was a step in the right direction after Bailey was hammered for eight runs in four innings last time out against the Nationals. The oft-injured 31-year-old has an 8.56 ERA through six starts and will need to show more consistency before being deployed in most fantasy leagues.
Severino struck out six over seven shutout innings in Thursday’s win over the Mariners. Severino allowed eight hits and the Mariners had their chances, but he managed to wiggle out of trouble repeatedly over his seven scoreless frames. In his two starts since the All-Star break, Severino has been terrific, having allowed just one run on 12 hits over 14 innings while boasting a 12/3 K/BB ratio. He will carry a 3.21 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 136/30 K/BB ratio (120 2/3 innings) into a home start against the Reds next time he toes the rubber.
