Joey Estes Struggles Despite K Prowess in Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Thu, Jun 27th 7:46am EDT
Joey Estes took the mound Wednesday, enduring a tough outing as he allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out eight over 5.2 innings in the Athletics' 5-2 loss to the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite showcasing his ability to rack up strikeouts, Estes's performance was marred by a couple of costly runs that contributed to his team's defeat. His season ERA now sits at an elevated 5.24, which, coupled with a WHIP of 1.21, suggests that while he can manage some damage control, his outings are often too volatile for comfort in fantasy lineups. His decent strikeout numbers provide some value, but fantasy managers should be wary of his inconsistency and the potential negative impact on their team's ERA and WHIP.
