Cole Irvin Stats

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Cole Irvin allowed five earned runs in just three innings pitched to suffer the loss Monday versus Seattle. Irvin was given a three-run lead in the first inning, but he wasn't sharp in this one, getting knocked out before recording an out in the fourth inning. On the season Irvin has a less-than-stellar 4.18 ERA that should be worse based on his 4.85 xFIP and 4.95 ERA. He doesn't strike anyone out as his 16.2% strikeout rate is the third-lowest among all qualified starters. Irvin is not a recommended start in his last outing of the year versus Houston.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Cole Irvin allowed three runs across five innings to take the loss on Wednesday versus Seattle. Irvin was not effective in this one as he allowed seven hits and three walks while only picking up three strikeouts. The left-hander has his moments this season, but he's not much of a fantasy option as his 16% strikeout rate is the second-lowest among all qualified starters making him a high-risk fantasy option if he's not going deep into games. Irvin is not a recommended start in fantasy next time out in a rematch with these Mariners.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Cole Irvin allowed two runs across seven innings with eight strikeouts against the Rangers on Saturday. Unfortunately for Irvin, the bullpen couldn't hold a four-run lead to secure the win, but it was an encouraging outing from the young lefty. Prior to this outing, Irvin had not completed the fifth inning in three-straight starts as he has struggled along with the rest of the freefalling A's ball club. Despite this strong start, Irvin remains a risky fantasy option as his 16.1% strikeout rate is among the lowest in the Majors. The lack of strikeouts makes him hard to trust in fantasy, even with another good matchup versus the Angels up next.
