Steven Matz Stats

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz will make his next start on Saturday afternoon against the New York Mets, according to Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News. Matz is coming off a strong performance on Sunday, in which he threw five scoreless innings to earn the win in Game 2 of the doubleheader with Texas. He's been very inconsistent all year long, but he's been a useful streaming option in fantasy when he gets a good matchup. Saturday might not be a good matchup for Matz though, as the Mets are hitting slightly better this year against left-handed pitching (.238/.319/.387) than against right-handed pitching (.232/.312/.382).

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz lasted just four innings versus the Orioles on Tuesday as his team fell 7-5. The left-hander gave up four runs (three earned) since he didn't get a lot of help from his defense, but he wasn't at his sharpest either by letting two of his six hits leave the yard. The lone bright spot was that he struck out four without walking a batter to put him at 82 K through 76 1/3 IP on the year. Matz is lined up for one more start before the All-Star game where he'll take an underwhelming 4.72 ERA and 1.38 WHIP on the road versus the Rays.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz returned to the mound for the first time since landing on the COVID-19 injured list on June 13, and there was certainly some rust to shake off in Wednesday's tilt versus the Mariners. He started off strong by retiring six of the first seven batters he faced, but the wheels came off in the third inning when he allowed four runs before exiting with two outs recorded in the frame. The left-hander finished the game with three strikeouts to no walks and five hits allowed, pushing his ERA to 4.60 and his WHIP to 1.37. Matz has been difficult to trust as a fantasy option with his unpredictability from outing to outing, so managers would be taking a small risk by playing him versus the Orioles next week.
