| Jason Vargas generously supported |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/18/13) Angels starter Jason Vargas recorded a season-high nine strikeouts in an easy win over the Mariners Monday night.
Vargas got plenty of support as he moved to 6-4 on the year with a 3.65 ERA. Vargas allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over seven solid innings in the win.
Vargas won four straight starts from May 14 through May 30, but had given up eight runs over his previous two outings spanning 11 2/3 innings.
He bounced back Monday with the solid outing and will look to keep that going in his next start scheduled for Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

| Jason Vargas beaten by Orioles |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/11/13) Angels starter Jason Vargas, who shut out the Orioles in his first start against them in 2013, had another solid outing Tuesday in Baltimore. This time around, however, Miguel Gonzalez was even better for the Orioles.
Vargas allowed the Orioles to load the bases on infield singles in the seventh inning with two outs and manager Mike Scioscia removed him in favor of Scott Downs. Downs gave up a two-run single to Nick Markakis and Vargas was saddled with the loss. He fell to 5-4 on the year.
Vargas gave up three runs on seven hits and a walk over 6 2/3 innings in defeat. He struck out one batter over 113 pitches and his ERA is at 3.74. Vargas had won his previous five consecutive decisions and lost for the first time since April 28 at Seattle. He'll look to bounce back when he next starts Sunday against the Yankees.

| Jason Vargas has off night in no-decision |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/5/13) Fresh off being named the American League Pitcher of the Month for May, Angels starter Jason Vargas didn't fare very well Wednesday against the Cubs.
Vargas was lucky to earn a no-decision to remain at 5-3 on the year as he gave up five earned runs on 11 hits and two walks over five innings. The final run he allowed came in the sixth as he couldn't retire a batter in that inning. Vargas struck out four and raised his ERA to 3.71.
Vargas went 5-0 with a 2.30 ERA for the month of May but has started June off on the wrong foot. He'll look to rebound when he next takes the mound Tuesday at Baltimore.

| Jason Vargas named AL's top pitcher for May |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/3/13) Angels starter Jason Vargas was named the American League Pitcher of the Month for May, MLB.com reports Monday. Vargas went 5-0 with a 2.30 ERA for the month.
Vargas, who also won the monthly honor in July 2012 with the Mariners, has gone 5-3 this season with a 3.34 ERA overall. His next scheduled start comes Wednesday against the Cubs.

| Jason Vargas deserves more love |
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(5/31/13) Jason Vargas may not strike out a bunch of batters or keep the baserunners at bay, but what he lacks in sizzle he makes up for in predictability.
Over his last seven starts, he has pitched seven innings or more and allowed two earned runs or fewer six times. The one time he didn't was at the Astros, who play in a hitter's park. Four of the six good starts came at home, and the other two came at pitcher's parks (Seattle and Kansas City).
The Angels play in a pitcher's park, as do two of their division rivals (Oakland and, of course, Seattle), so as long as the pattern holds, Vargas will have plenty of opportunities to produce in Fantasy. It held last year, and he ended up being the 25th highest-scoring pitcher in Head-to-Head leagues.
I'm not saying you'll want to run him out there every time he starts, but you will often enough to roster him in mixed leagues.

| Jason Vargas continued to make progress as a starter for the Mariners in 2012 and enjoyed his finest campaign. He set career highs across the board as he went 14-11 with a 3.85 ERA in 33 starts. Along with pitching two complete games, he struck out 141 batters in 217 1/3 innings while walking just 55. The left-hander still has a few decent years left in him at age 30 and will be looking to throw more than 200 innings for the third straight season in 2013. Vargas was traded for Kendrys Morales to the Angels in the offseason, which should only improve in Fantasy value. He will see plenty of run support in Anaheim and while the move to Angel Stadium is a wash when comparing 2012 numbers, it might actually be good for him in 2013 as Seattle is moving in the fences at Safeco Field. Having Peter Bourjos and Mike Trout patrolling the outfield behind him should lead to a decrease in balls that drop in play. A few more wins should be expected too, especially since he will get to face his former team a couple of times in 2013. Owners should plan on targeting Vargas in the middle rounds of most Fantasy formats on Draft Day. (Updated 1/2/13) |
