Fantasy Impact

This performance nudged his ERA up to 3.98 and his WHIP to 1.33 for the season. Despite a decent strikeout count in this outing, Mize's season-long K/9 remains a modest 6.8, reflecting limited strikeout upside. His FIP at 3.32 suggests some bad luck may be involved, given the .314 BABIP, but fantasy managers should remain cautious. Mize's ability to control walks is a positive, yet the lack of dominant strikeout numbers and vulnerability in some starts make him a risky play in mixed leagues.

Casey Mize delivered a lukewarm performance, allowing two earned runs on six hits and striking out two over five innings in the Tigers' narrow 6-5 win over the Royals on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not factoring into the decision, Mize's outing was a mixed bag, providing minimal fantasy points due to a lack of strikeouts and a relatively high number of hits allowed. His season ERA slightly increased to 3.08, and his WHIP now stands at 1.22, which are decent figures but might not excite fantasy managers looking for a dominant ace. Mize's modest strikeout rate of 6.2 K/9 continues to be a concern for those needing punchouts to compete in their leagues. Moving forward, while he remains a stable rotation option, his limited strikeout upside could cap his overall fantasy value.

Fantasy Impact

This was Mize's best outing of the season so far. With a WHIP of 1.17 and a strong 4.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Mize continues to demonstrate the underlying skills that could lead to more consistent outcomes and lower his 4.11 ERA.

Casey Mize delivered a lukewarm performance in Tuesday's outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates, navigating through five innings with a line that won't have fantasy managers rushing to the waiver wire.

Fantasy Impact

Allowing five hits and one walk while only striking out two, Mize's effort was enough to keep the Tigers in the game, which they eventually won 5-3. With a season ERA now sitting at 4.82 and a WHIP of 1.39 through his first two starts, Mize's fantasy outlook remains tepid at best. Managers should keep expectations in check and consider him a matchup-dependent option until he shows signs of a more dominant form.
