Analyse

The right-hander was in trouble from the jump Friday, as New York scored three runs (one earned) during the opening frame. Things didn't get any better from there with the Yankees adding to McCullers' ledger in the second, fourth and sixth innings. The 32-year-old had an electric season debut March 30 versus the Red Sox with nine strikeouts and just one run allowed over seven innings, but McCullers has surrendered 18 earned runs across 18.1 frames in his four subsequent starts. Perhaps a rematch with Boston next week will help him to get back on track, but that's a risky proposition for fantasy managers given his recent form.
