Mitch Keller Looks To Curb Post-Break Slide On Thursday
9 months agoPittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller heads to the mound for Thursday's start against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 27-year-old has built on his 2022 breakout overall, but has mostly struggled since returning from this year's All-Star break. Keller shows an 8.64 ERA over three post-break starts (16.2 innings), getting hit hard for six home runs during this skid. The 2023 All-Star sees a decent opportunity to bounce back on Thursday against a scuffling Brewers offense averaging just 3.6 runs on a team .232 BA and .666 OPS across their previous 19 games. Despite Keller's recent drop-off, he remains worth deploying in the majority of season-long fantasy leagues. The right-hander did permit only two runs in 5.2 frames during his latest appearance versus the Philadelphia Phillies.
