Jason Marquis to make Cincinnati Reds debut tonight
Fantasy Impact
36 year old Jason Marquis will make the start against one of his former teams tonight. Marquis, widely considered a longshot to make the club, let alone crack the rotation faces a major challenge at Great American Ballpark where he is slated to square off against John lackey and the St. Louis Cardinals. Jason Marquis was able to crack the rotation following a stellar spring where he compiled a 3-1 record, 2.90 ERA, and 17 strikeouts over 31 innings in seven starts. Listed at $5200 on Fanduel Jason Marquis is the second cheapest SP available and may be worth taking a flyer. Marquis is 1-1 against St. Louis in his career with a 5.56 ERA, but holds a 17.2% strikeout rate against current Cardinal batters. If he is able to bring the success of March into April, then tonight will be very rewarding for Jason Marquis owners.
Jason Marquis gave up 5 hits over 5 innings. The first 3 innings were scoreless and then he yielded 4 earned runs. He walked 3 and struck out 1 in the outing.
Fantasy Impact
This wasn't the start that Jason Marquis would have wanted having just been confirmed in the Reds' season opening rotation. It appears unlikely that he will offer much fantasy value.
In his 3 spring starts, veteran pitcher Jason Marquis tossed 9 innings, conceded 1 earned run whilst striking out 7.
Fantasy Impact
Jason Marquis holds little fantasy value except for leagues where all starting pitchers are owned. He has a career 4.56 ERA & 1.44 WHIP. His spot in the rotation could be short-lived whilst the Reds wait for Homer Bailey to regain fitness.
