Josh Hader seals the deal in Astros' victory
by Chris Schommer | Astros Correspondent | Sat, May 11th 7:13am EDT
Josh Hader notched his fifth save of the season, tossing a hitless inning with two strikeouts in the Astros' 5-2 win over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite allowing a walk, Hader managed to keep the Tigers at bay, maintaining a clean sheet in terms of runs. This performance could be a sign of stabilization for Hader, who has been grappling with a bloated 5.29 ERA and a higher-than-ideal 1.35 WHIP this season. His impressive 14.3 K/9 continues to make him a valuable asset for strikeouts in fantasy leagues, but his overall effectiveness has been hampered by a high .371 BABIP, suggesting some bad luck has been at play. Fantasy managers should remain cautiously optimistic; while his strikeout ability is elite, the elevated ERA and WHIP are concerns that can't be ignored.
