Yariel Rodriguez of the Blue Jays has shown great promise this year with an 3.78 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 33.1 innings, posting an overall record of 1-3 while giving up 28 hits, 3 homers, 18 walks and striking out 36 batters despite an elevated WHIP that indicates his struggles in controlling runners on base; his ability to strike out batters is unquestionable while inconsistency could create problems against an efficient Rays lineup.
