His last three starts were 5.0 IP and 6 ER with 2 strikeouts, 5.0 IP and 2 ER with 7 strikeouts, and 6.0 IP and 6 ER with 4 strikeouts.

His last three starts were 4.1 IP and 3 ER with 5 strikeouts, 4.1 IP and 4 ER with 3 strikeouts, and 5.2 IP and 0 ER with 4 strikeouts. The swing-and-miss rate is better than Freeland’s, but the walks and shorter outings add volatility; his trend is up.

The Rockies are 6-4 over their last 10, and their offense has been the stronger side of their profile relative to their pitching.
