Corbin Burnes News
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes shut down the Boston Red Sox in Tuesday's 7-1 victory, throwing seven innings of one-run ball on two hits and two walks with six strikeouts. Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill, who is white-hot, took Burnes yard in the first inning, but it was all Burnes from that point on. He allowed one single and two free passes otherwise, tossing four perfect frames during the outing. The 29-year-old perennial Cy Young Award candidate is dealing to begin his O's career, notching a 1.93 ERA and 0.75 WHIP while fanning 20 batters across his first 18 2/3 innings of the campaign. Burnes' next start is lined up for Sunday at home in a matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers, the team that traded him away this past offseason. Although Milwaukee's offense is off to a hot start, Burnes is hard to dispute as a must-start fantasy player each time he takes the hill.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes will make his next start on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander was originally supposed to pitch on Wednesday, but due to off days, the Orioles decided to have him pitch a day earlier. Cole Irvin will now start on Wednesday with Grayson Rodriguez going on Thursday. Burnes remains a must-start fantasy ace regardless of opponent this season.
The Baltimore Orioles' prized offseason acquisition and Opening Day starter Corbin Burnes tossed six innings of scoreless ball on Thursday, securing the win in an 11-3 victory over the Angels. The three-time All-Star struck out 11 batters and didn't allow a walk. The only blemish was a solo homer given up in the first inning to future Hall of Famer Mike Trout. Sometimes it plays out just the way you drew it up -- the O's get off on the right foot in their defense of last year's American League East division title, and Burnes rewards fantasy managers who spent a second-round pick on the 29-year-old with a masterful start to the season. Burnes' next start could come at home next Wednesday against the Royals.

If you draft Corbin Burnes and expect the 2021 version, you'll be disappointed. If you expect something similar to last year, you should be fine. In 32 starts (193.2 IP), Burnes had a 10-8 W-L record, 3.39 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 200 Ks. He's made 65 starts over the last two years so he has been durable. However, the numbers have declined. Burnes had a 3.80 xFIP and 4.02 SIERA, both career highs. Burnes' 8.4% BB% was up from his career 6.7% BB%, his 25.5% K% was the lowest it has been since his rookie year (as a reliever) and his 44.1% GB% was a career-low. All concerning numbers but there are still reasons to draft Burnes. His durability is not to be discounted and although the ground balls aren't as plentiful, he still ranked in the 60th percentile for GB%. Burnes continues to limit hard contact, with his 86.4 MPH average exit velocity (92nd percentile), 32.4% HardHit% (89th percentile) and 5.3% Barrel% (86th percentile). Assuming Burnes makes 30 starts again in 2024, he's got every chance of ending as an SP1 again. Providing last year's regression was just a down year and you don't take him in the first round, Burnes should still provide value.
