View More NewsJustin Verlander inefficient, Astros Fall Short
Justin Verlander pitched 4.1 innings with three hits, four walks, and seven strikeouts despite a no-decision in the Astros' 3-1 loss to the Cubs on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Verlander was pulled after 95 pitches having pitched 4.1 innings, allowing no earned runs while giving up three hits and four walks, and striking out seven. Despite a strong performance that kept his ERA impressive at 1.74, Verlander's inability to go deeper into the game likely frustrated fantasy managers counting on more innings and a potential win. His season stats remain strong, with a solid WHIP of 1.06 and a K/9 of 9.6, indicating that he remains a top-tier fantasy option. However, his high walk rate in this outing could be a point of concern if it becomes a recurring issue.
