Sunk by two homers Sunday
Smith (4-1) took the loss Sunday versus the Astros, allowing two runs on two hits and striking out two over one inning.
ANALYSIS
Alex Bregman and Yainer Diaz went back-to-back on consecutive pitches in the seventh inning, and the Orioles weren't able to bounce back, leaving Smith with his first loss of the year. Smith was pretty effective after initially joining the Orioles in mid-July, but he's now been on the hook for multiple runs in three of his last four appearances. Since Aug. 10, he's allowed 10 runs (nine earned), including five home runs, over seven innings. Smith is now at a 4.84 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 41:11 K:BB overall 48.1 innings between Baltimore and Miami this year.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021

2014
Traded across the bay last February, Smith drew rave reviews from his new coaches and teammates in spring training and summer camp. He was otherworldly out of the gates with Oakland, turning in 10.1 scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts and one walk in his first five appearances. All good things must come to an end, and in Smith's case, that end was sudden as he went down with a forearm strain in mid-August and missed the rest of the season. Fortunately, an MRI at the time showed no structural damage. The A's tendered Smith a contract after the season and settled with him at $705,000, suggesting they have some confidence he can contribute in 2021. With Liam Hendriks leaving in free agency, the ninth inning looks open. Based on his 2020 sample alone, Smith would seem like a legitimate candidate, but he had not previously displayed anything close to that level of skill.
