From Rotoworld: Price delivered his most dominant start of the season on Sunday, racking up eight strikeouts over eight shutout innings in a victory over the Yankees. Price scattered seven hits on the night and didn’t issue a walk. After getting off to a slow start, the star southpaw is rounding back into form, posting quality starts in each of his last five outings. He sports a 3.39 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 58/19 K/BB ratio over 61 innings in his first 10 starts. He’ll look to replicate this fine effort when he takes on the Angels in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Ramirez allowed four earned runs, eight hits and a walk with five strikeouts over six innings in Saturday’s loss against Tampa Bay. Ramirez was a little shaky, tossing a wild pitch and finding the strike zone with just 61 of his 91 offerings. He has actually been much better on the road than at home, going 1-5 with a 5.50 ERA across 10 appearances (nine starts) at the Big A and 7-3 with a 3.60 ERA over 11 road appearances (nine starts). Unfortunately for Ramirez and his fantasy owners, the Angels will be home for his next start July 22 against David Price and the Red Sox
