Michael King dominates Diamondbacks in Padres' victory
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sat, Jun 8th 8:12am EDT
Michael King delivered a stellar outing on Friday, allowing zero earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings in the Padres' 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscored King's growing reliability as a starting pitcher, lowering his ERA to 3.58 and improving his record to 5-4. Despite a solid 9.6 K/9 rate, his FIP remains a concerning 4.56, suggesting some of his success might be influenced by factors outside his control, such as defense or luck, indicated by a low .253 BABIP. Fantasy managers should be cautiously optimistic, as his strikeout abilities are genuine, but they should also be wary of potential regression if his peripheral metrics don't improve.
