Vargas improved to 2-3 with a 4.03 ERA as he allowed just two earned runs on five hits over seven solid innings with seven Ks. He walked one and allowed a solo homer to Billy Butler in the sixth inning. Vargas threw 104 pitches.
Vargas had a rocky start to the year, but may get back on track along with Hamilton, Trout, Pujols and company. He's 2-0 in his last three starts and has a complete-game shutout among those outings. Vargas has also struck out seven in back-to-back starts.
His next outing is scheduled for Sunday against the Chicago White Sox.
Throughout his time with the Mariners,
The free-swinging Astros knocked him around Thursday, but they did so at home in hitter-friendly Minute Maid Park. In his previous three starts, Vargas had the upper hand, allowing five earned runs in 24 innings. But one of those starts came in the familiar Safeco Field, and the other two came in his new home, pitcher-friendly
Vargas' overall numbers are pretty miserable so far, but in time, he should emerge as predictable streaming option, judging from both his last few starts and historical precedent.
Vargas followed up a complete-game shutout in his last outing with his third five-run performance of the year, raising his ERA to 4.26. He'll face the Royals Tuesday in his next start.
After a wild beginning to the season,
Fortunately for Vargas' owners, he will make two more starts at his pitcher-friendly home venue in Fantasy Week 7 (May 13-19). The Royals and White Sox have been good matchups for pitchers this season, and with Vargas getting them both at home, he suddenly becomes an attractive option for owners in standard mixed leagues. Vargas is currently owned in only 43 percent of the leagues on CBSSports.com, so he is readily available in many mixed leagues. Though his season stats give Vargas the appearance of being a deep-league-only option, he is worth a pickup in 12-team mixed leagues.
