Home is where the heart is...at least, that was the case for Chen in 2018. His overall ratios don't indicate it, but he was stellar in Marlins Park, posting a 1.62 ERA over 13 starts. The problem was, he countered that success with a woeful 9.27 ERA on the road last season. The soft-tossing lefty added a bit to his strikeout rate last season, but it was still below average at 19.4%, and the boost came at the expense of his walk rate (8.2%). With two years left on his contract, Chen is a safe bet to break camp in the Marlins' rotation. However, given his extreme splits and limited strikeout potential, he is going to be a streaming option at best.
