He's now thrown four quality starts in his last five outings and dropped his ERA to 4.03 on the season. While normally not a strikeout pitcher, Vargas has now punched out seven batters in three of his last four starts which is a nice boost for his fantasy owners. His next matchup should be an interesting test as he faces the White Sox at home next week. While he's got a 3.32 ERA at home this year, in his last five starts against the White Sox, he's got an 8.03 ERA and the Pale Hose are batting .305 against him in that span.","date":"Tue May 14"},"fullName":"Jason Vargas","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After a couple of seasons with a HR/FB well below league average, Vargas saw that mark spike above league average last season, with the majority of damage being done, not surprisingly, on the road. On the other hand, his BABIP was much lower than league average, even for a fly-ball pitcher. These two balanced, with the result appearing as a normal season. Now in Anaheim, Vargas will again have the benefit of a cavernous venue to limit the long ball at home, but he'll still surrender a fair amount on the road; assuming there is a BABIP correction, his ERA will suffer.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3.2,"playerRater15DAY":0.8,"positionRank":105}
