Description: Astros starter Lucas Harrell gave up eight hits but limited the Yankees to one run in 6 1/3 innings Monday night to improve to 3-2. | Insight: Harrell's ERA is 3.60, but it's due in large part to an unsustainable 86 percent strand rate. Harrell's WHIP is 1.54, and his FIP is 5.11. | | |

Description: Astros starter Lucas Harrell improved to 9-7 and lowered his ERA below 4.00 for the first time since late May with a quality start Saturday against Atlanta. | Insight: Harrell (9-7, 3.98) has allowed two earned runs or less in seven of his last eight starts to lower his ERA from 5.07 to 3.98 in that span. The right-hander doesn't rack up strikeouts and walks too many batters but he's still a solid option in NL-only formats. | | |

Description: Astros starter Lucas Harrell has a 2.03 ERA over his last six starts, including a dominant effort Tuesday against the Reds. | Insight: Harrell (7-7, 4.07) allowed one run in seven innings Tuesday but he had to take a no decision when Francisco Cordero blew a save. Harrell is worth a look in NL-only leagues. | | |

Description: Astros starter Lucas Harrell handled San Diego Wednesday in his first career complete game. | Insight: Harrell shut out the Padres on six hits and four walks while fanning seven. The right-hander has allowed one run on eight hits and seven walks in 16 innings over his last two starts, both against light-hitting ballclubs. Despite his recent success, he's nothing more than a spot starter to use when he's throwing at home (5-1, 1.99 ERA in seven starts at Minute Maid Park this season). | | |
