He entered the game with 14 walks in 21.2 innings, but he did not yield a free pass in Saturday's game. He has yet to allow a run in 15 innings at home, but he will face the Brewers on the road in his next scheduled start.","date":"Sat Apr 27"},"fullName":"Jake Westbrook","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"For his career, Westbrook has allowed more than a hit an inning, so the baserunners are plentiful. Compounding the trouble is that his strikeout rate is pedestrian at best. Fortunately, Westbrook is an extreme ground-ball pitcher, so he keeps the ball in the yard, minimizing damage. His strength is durability, keeping his team in the game and thus chalking up some wins. This can be useful in a fantasy-points format. However, since being traded to St. Louis -- despite working about half the time in a pitcher's haven -- Westbrook has fared better on the road, which severely limits his utility in rotisserie for streaming purposes.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1.4,"playerRater15DAY":-0.2,"positionRank":77}
