Eovaldi allowed six runs on eight hits, including three home runs, and two walks over five innings while striking out three during a no-decision against the Mariners on Friday.
The ball was jumping off the Mariners' bats early and often. Even with his electric stuff, Eovaldi wasn't keeping hitters off balance Friday, as he posted just seven swinging strikes. While he pitched extremely well in the playoffs, owners should keep in mind that the right-hander struggled at times during the regular season in 2018, posting a 6-7 record and 3.81 ERA with 101 strikeouts in 111 innings. Although home runs have never really been a problem for Eovaldi in the past, he does tend to be inconsistent.
