James Paxton has mediocre outing, Dodgers still triumph

James Paxton delivered a lackluster performance in the Dodgers' 7-3 victory over the Reds on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed three earned runs on seven hits and struck out two over six innings, without issuing any walks. Despite not factoring into the decision, Paxton's outing was less than stellar, particularly in the strikeout department, which has been a weak point throughout the season with a low 4.9 K/9 rate. His season ERA slightly increased to 2.84, and his WHIP remains elevated at 1.38, reflecting ongoing challenges with baserunners. Paxton's low strikeout numbers and high FIP (5.26) suggest potential volatility ahead, making him a risky play in fantasy leagues that heavily reward strikeouts and low ERA.
