Zach Davies News
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies put together another bad outing in Sunday's no-decision versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. The right-hander only went four innings and allowed eight hits, six runs, three walks and struck out three on the afternoon. Davies has had a dismal year for the Cubs and is 6-10 with a 5.16 ERA. Next up for Davies will be a tough matchup versus the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Davies should be avoided in all matchups and remain on the waiver wire in all formats.
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies once again failed to get through five innings in Tuesday's no-decision versus the Minnesota Twins. The veteran allowed six hits, one run, zero walks and struck out three over 4 1/3 innings. Although his outing wasn't that bad, he continues to be unreliable with limited innings. For the season, Davies is 6-10 with an uninspiring 4.91 ERA. Next up will be a matchup versus a tough Cincinnati Reds offense on Monday. He can safely be ignored in all formats.
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies once again failed to go five innings in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Colorado Rockies. The veteran went 4 2/3 innings and allowed three hits, two runs, one walk and struck out six. Davies has had a rough season for the Cubs and his inability to go deep into games with a low strikeout rate has made him expendable in all formats. For the season, Davies is 6-10 with an ugly 5.00 ERA. Next up for the right-hander will be a date against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. Even in a very favorable matchup, managers could shy away from the veteran.

Everything came together for Chicago Cubs starting pitcherZach Davies in his one year with the Padres, as he posted career-bests in ERA (2.73), WHIP (1.07) and strikeout rate (22.8%). This was, however, one of the least believable breakouts in recent memory, as he benefited hugely from a low BABIP (.249) and high strand rate (78.2%). It is also notable that he achieved these great results without changing anything about himself. His pitch arsenal remained the same and he added no velocity or movement to those pitches. He remained a very fly-ball heavy pitcher (41.3% ground-ball rate) and actually surrendered the highest expected wOBA on contact of his career (.401). A December trade put him in the Chicago Cubs rotation, which is a neutral move, at best, as he goes to a slightly better ballpark for pitchers but has a much worse offense backing him. Do not be fooled by the numbers. Davies will be an average-at-best fantasy pitcher in 2021.
