More Of The Same Split Production To Be Expected From German Marquez
4 years agoYou know what you get with Marquez. You can stream him on the road with some good results, and you will still have to steer clear of most of his home starts. Last season he fashioned a 5.68 road ERA with a 2.06 mark at home. He had a .371 BABIP at home compared to .234 on the road. There has always been a significant difference in such regards. What was more concerning was Marquez's K% dropping to 21.2. It has fallen in each of the past three seasons, alarmingly down from 28.2% in 2018. There was no major change in his arsenal, as Marquez just threw the slider a bit less and the changeup a little more. There were noticeable variations in his velocity, either. His ERA of 3.75 and xFIP of 3.83 suggested no outliers, either. So Marquez will continue to be what you expect him to be. He will be the No. 1 starter in a weak MLB rotation and viable for usage depending on the venue he is working in, no surprises there. His ADP of 170 may be a bit high for a player you will leave on your bench at times.
