Kenta Maeda's outing not enough for Tigers
by Chris Schommer | Tigers Correspondent | Sat, Jun 29th 6:01am EDT
Kenta Maeda allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over 5 1/3 innings in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was emblematic of Maeda's struggles this season, maintaining a bloated 5.76 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP through 14 starts. His 6.8 K/9 and 5.38 FIP suggest he's not missing many bats and is giving up his fair share of hard hits, evidenced by a .301 BABIP. Fantasy managers should view Maeda as a risky play, mostly viable in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against less formidable lineups. His inability to work deep into games or secure wins consistently further limits his appeal in standard fantasy formats.
