Lopez allowed just an unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings of work in Thursday's victory over the Diamondbacks. He didn't factor into the decision.
The righty looked good, throwing 63 of his 94 pitches for strikes. Lopez now holds a 2.04 ERA on the year, showing that his 3.61 ERA in 2020 was no fluke. Although Lopez has seen his K/9 dip slightly, his 3.11 FIP suggests he should remain one of the more valuable starters in fantasy. The main knock on him is that the Marlins haven't helped him to any wins yet in seven starts this season, as he's 0-2 despite his sterling ratios.
