Ray Kerr Struggles Despite High Strikeout Count
by Chase Davis | Braves Correspondent | Fri, May 31st 9:16am EDT
Ray Kerr allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over 3.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite showcasing his ability to rack up strikeouts, Kerr's performance was marred by the runs he allowed, contributing to the Braves' 3-1 defeat. His season ERA now sits uncomfortably high at 5.82, and while his strikeout rate remains impressive at 12.2 K/9, his overall effectiveness is undermined by his susceptibility to allowing hits and runs. Fantasy managers should be wary; despite the high strikeout potential, Kerr's high ERA and WHIP could be detrimental to fantasy rosters. His role in high-leverage situations remains uncertain, making him a risky play in most formats.
