Seth Lugo Shines, Royals Fall Short in Tight Contest
by Chase Davis | Royals Correspondent | Wed, Jun 26th 8:23am EDT
Seth Lugo delivered a stellar performance, allowing no earned runs on just two hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his strong outing, Lugo didn't factor into the decision, a recurring theme that might frustrate fantasy managers given his solid season stats. With a 2.29 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 10 wins, Lugo continues to be a reliable fantasy option, particularly in categories like ERA and WHIP. However, his relatively modest strikeout rate (7.8 K/9) might limit his ceiling in leagues that heavily reward strikeouts. His consistent performance, underscored by a favorable 3.65 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a sustainable .268 BABIP, suggests he should remain a steady presence in fantasy rotations.
