Because he isn't a big strikeout pitcher, Jordan Lyles won't be confused with any of the starters that you would typically use in standard mixed leagues. Still, the Astro is showing that he has some value in deeper mixed and AL-only leagues, but he's largely underappreciated in those formats.
Over his last four starts, Lyles has a 1.90 ERA, and if that sounds like he's pitching over his head, well, he is. But he is getting his fair share of ground balls, pitching with decent command and for the first time in his major league career, he's stranding baserunners at a normal rate. The first two developments mirror his recent minor-league trends, and the third provides hope that a low strand rate won't be a chronic problem.
That may not be something to get excited about, but Lyles deserves to be owned in more than six percent of the leagues on CBSSports.com.
