Tarik Skubal News
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal put forth another excellent performance in Monday's 7-1 win over the Rays. Skubal pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and no walks with nine strikeouts. The 27-year-old has been every bit as good as fantasy managers had hoped for, going 3-0 with a 1.82 ERA, a 10.62 K/9 rate, and a 1.52 BB/9 rate in five starts. He will look to continue his hot streak in his next scheduled start against the Royals.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal earned the win in Thursday's 1-0 Opening Day victory over the White Sox. Skubal allowed three hits and no walks while striking out six batters in six innings of work. After a dominant 2023, expectations for the 27-year-old were sky-high, and the lefty delivered in his first outing of the 2024 season. His next turn could come next Wednesday against the Mets in New York as he looks to make good on his NFBC ADP of 50th overall.
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal will start the team's Opening Day game on March 28 against the Chicago White Sox, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Skubal only made 15 starts for the Tigers last year after he got a late start to the season due to flexor-tendon surgery on his arm, but he was strong in those 15 starts, posting a 2.80 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with 102 strikeouts in only 80 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old southpaw will have some workload concerns for fantasy managers, but if he's fully healthy, the upside is obvious. He's been pumping his fastball in the high-90s this spring and has looked good, adding even more intrigue around him in fantasy drafts as a low-end fantasy ace/high-end No. 2 starter to target. The matchup against the White Sox to kick things off in 2024 will be an excellent one, too.

In 2021, Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal had good strikeout numbers, but the walks were too high, leading to an uninspiring K-BB% of 18.5%. The former ninth-round pick also allowed the third-most HR (35) that year, resulting in a 4.34 ERA. The 2022 season showed signs of improvement but was cut short in August after needing flexor tendon surgery. The Detroit hurler returned in July of 2023 and was superb in his limited action. The southpaw had a 2.80 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and struck out 102 in 80.1 innings. Skubal increased his K-BB% to a sparkling 28.4% in 2023 and lowered his ERA, WHIP, OBA, HR/9, and BB/9 in the last two seasons. While all that points to a successful 2024 campaign, his NFBC ADP of 54 now sits 10 picks ahead of last year's NL Cy Young winner, Blake Snell, and his RotoBaller rank stands at 68, which puts him into overvalued territory. The young lefty's FGDC projection shows a 3.34 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 198 K in 171 IP, and a 21.5% K-BB%. For those bullish on his services, he does compete in the AL Central, which produced the least amount of runs in 2023, and he'll presumably face the Minnesota Twins multiple times -; the team that struck out most last season. Skubal has the upside to be an ace and is an excellent No. 2 option for fantasy teams heading into upcoming drafts.
