Cristian Javier Continues Steady Year In Win Over Cubs
12 months agoHouston Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier fired six fine innings against the Chicago Cubs on the way to his fourth win of the season. He punched out five hitters, giving up only one run in the victory. The 26-year-old's deceiving breaking stuff has induced some of the highest chase rate in baseball this year, plus he's cut down on free passes which have been an issue for him in the past. Javier has permitted more than three runs just a single time across nine starts in 2023 so far. The right-hander has settled in as a true fantasy stalwart since debuting in 2020. Javier takes a 3.25 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 59-to-12 strikeout-to-walk ratio into a matchup with the beatable Milwaukee Brewers offense on Monday.
