Miller (2-12) surrendered four runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday. He struck out two.
The 25-year-old Miller has given up four runs in each of his last three starts since making a quality start after he was recalled Aug. 31. The hasn't been a tough-luck loser on a bad team like he was last year with Atlanta; his poor record with Arizona this year is mostly due to just plain poor pitching. Fantasy owners already know his counting statistics are terrible, but his peripherals are just as bad. Lest you think Miller's struggles are related to his home field, his xFIP- (which adjusts for park factors) is still not outstandingly better than his ERA and FIP. The struggling starter is scheduled to next face the Orioles in Baltimore on Friday.
