Bailey (4-6) allowed four runs on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks across 3.2 innings while taking a loss against the Rangers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
His 4.56 FIP indicates he's pitched much better than his 6.05 ERA, but Bailey does also possess a 1.53 WHIP and .277 batting average against this season. In his last four starts, he's allowed 15 runs in 14 innings, and during that stretch, Bailey has lost three of his four outings. That's dropped him to 4-6 this season. Bailey will look to get on track against the White Sox in his next start Friday.

Bailey (4-5) gave up five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two through 1.2 innings, taking the loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
A three-run home run from Marcell Ozuna and a two-run home run by Matt Carpenter quickly chased Bailey from this start. His 0.99 HR/9 coming into this start suggests the home runs are not as big of an issue as his 44:22 K:BB. Over the last month, the right-hander has a 3-4 record with a 6.60 ERA. Bailey will make his next start Tuesday against the White Sox.

Following Tuesday's rainout, Bailey will start the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brad Keller, who was Wednesday's scheduled starter, will start Game 1, affording Bailey a full extra day of rest. He has a 4.70 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 15.1 innings across three starts this month.

Bailey (4-4) allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits and four walks while striking out four across 4.1 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Bailey had allowed only one earned run through four innings but allowed six of the first seven batters he faced to reach base in the fifth inning. After he exited the game, a throwing error by Ryan O'Hearn allowed three more runs to score, though one was unearned. Despite the poor outing, Bailey allowed only one extra-base hit -- a solo homer to Joey Gallo. However, his four walks were a concern, especially because he has now surrendered 4.0 BB/9 through 45.1 innings this season. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, currently scheduled for Wednesday at St. Louis.

Bailey (4-3) allowed one run on four hits with four strikeouts and three walks across five innings to earn a victory against the Phillies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
One of his three walks led to a run, but he worked around all of the other traffic. While Bailey has been very inconsistent this season, he has allowed just three runs in his last 11 innings. During that stretch, he's won two games and dropped his ERA to 4.83. He is 3-3 overall and also has a 1.32 WHIP with 38 strikeouts in 41 innings. His next start is scheduled for the Rangers on Thursday.

Bailey (3-3) earned the win against the Tigers on Saturday by allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out four and walked two.
EDGE Analysis
The Royals exploded for seven runs across the first three innings and Bailey did a good job keeping the TIgers off the board, save for a two-run homer from Jeimer Candelario. The veteran right-hander has a 5.25 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB over 36 innings, and lines up to face the Phillies next Friday.

Bailey (2-3) gave up four runs on six hits while striking out three through six innings in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bailey labored through a first inning in which he gave up four hits and three runs, but he recovered to only allow two more baserunners over the next five innings. The 32-year-old didn't allow a free pass after walking four batters in his one inning of work in his last outing. The right-hander has a 5.70 ERA and a 30:11 K:BB through six starts this season. Bailey will get his next start Friday in Detroit.

Bailey (2-2) allowed four earned runs on three hits and four walks while striking out none across one inning to take the loss Tuesday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Bailey didn't allow an extra-base hit in his abbreviated outing, but couldn't find the strike zone, walking four of the nine batters he faced. After wiggling out of a jam relatively unscathed in the first frame, Bailey couldn't retire any of the four batters he faced to begin the second and was pulled. He had been experiencing a renaissance of sorts prior to this outing and had a 2.7 BB/9 so there's hope he can rebound for his next start, likely to come Sunday against the Angels.
