Phil Maton seals the deal in tight victory
by Chris Schommer | Rays Correspondent | Sun, May 5th 8:29am EDT
Phil Maton secured a save in the Rays' 3-1 win over the Mets, tossing a hitless inning despite issuing a walk.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing, marked by his ability to prevent runs but lack of strikeouts, slightly improves his troubling 6.39 ERA and 1.50 WHIP for the season. While Maton's save today adds a positive note, his overall performance this year, characterized by a low strikeout rate (7.1 K/9) and high FIP (6.57), suggests that fantasy managers should remain cautious. His role may continue to see high-leverage situations due to his ability to induce weak contact (.229 BABIP), but his inconsistency makes him a risky option in all but the deepest of leagues.
