2023 Fantasy Outlook
Houser remained a fixture in the Brewers' rotation in 2022, finishing top-4 among Brewers pitchers in starts for a third straight year. However, he missed nearly two months with an elbow injury and was not particularly effective when he was out there, as both his ERA and WHIP were notably higher than they were in 2021. Houser took most of his lumps against left-handed hitters and on the road, as his splits against righties and at home were palatable or better. The Brewers have five other pitchers capable of breaking camp in the rotation, so despite his reliability Houser will not be guaranteed a spot, especially after the offseason signing of Wade Miley. Even if he comes away with one, it might be tough to believe in a bounceback, as although his velocity has remained steady, he will be entering his age-30 season and both his K/9 and BB/9 have trended the wrong direction three years running.

Grabs seventh win
Houser (7-4) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Houser has won both of his starts since returning from an elbow injury, allowing three runs over 11 innings in those outings. He limited the damage to an RBI single from Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning. Houser is at a 4.35 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 86:30 K:BB through 101.1 innings across 21 appearances (19 starts), but he's limited opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his last seven outings. The 30-year-old is lined up for a rematch at home versus the Cardinals next week.

Houser had his best season to date with a career high in innings pitched and a career-low 3.22 ERA. It's a little surprising he excelled. While he was able to maintain a groundball rate close to 60% (59.0 GB% last season), his K-BB% declined for the second straight season (17.3% to 9.3% to 6.8%). His K-BB% was fourth lowest among the 68 pitchers who threw at least 140 innings. Most of his struggles came after Major League Baseball started enforcing the ban on foreign substances; his curveball averaged over 1900 rpm in April and was down around 1750 in July. Houser only posted a 5.5 K/9 in the second with no late signs of a rebound. His success is predicated on the defense behind him getting to the groundballs he generates.
