Fantasy Impact

Despite not delivering a standout performance, Butto benefited from ample run support, nudging his season record to 2-2. His ERA slightly rose to 3.00, and while his WHIP remains steady at 1.15, fantasy managers should note his modest strikeout numbers and elevated FIP of 4.20, which suggest potential underlying issues.

Jose Butto delivered a quality start but took the loss in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against the Cubs.

He allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. Despite his commendable performance, Butto's season continues to be a tale of strong pitching without much support, as evidenced by his 2.57 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across five starts. His high strikeout rate (10 K/9) remains a bright spot, though his win-loss record doesn't reflect his effectiveness due to the Mets' offensive struggles when he pitches. Fantasy managers should value his ability to rack up strikeouts and maintain a low ERA, but be wary of the Mets' inability to secure wins during his outings.

Jose Butto struggled in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals, allowing four earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 5 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marked a slight deviation from his strong start to the season, as evidenced by his previously stellar 2.86 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Despite the rough game, Butto's high strikeout rate of 10.2 K/9 remains a silver lining for fantasy managers. However, his elevated FIP of 4.21 suggests that some regression might have been expected. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his control issues and BABIP, which could indicate whether his early season success is sustainable or if adjustments are needed.

Jose Butto had a mixed outing in the Mets' 6-4 win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

He pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on three hits and five walks while striking out six. Despite the high walk count, Butto managed to limit the damage and keep his team in the game, which is a testament to his ability to pitch out of trouble. His season ERA slightly rose to 1.65, but his performance still underscores his potential value in fantasy leagues, particularly due to his high strikeout rate (11.6 K/9). However, fantasy managers should be cautious of his control issues, as evidenced by the five walks. Maintaining control will be key for Butto's continued success and reliability as a fantasy option.
