Nick Pivetta had a rough outing in Friday's 9-2 loss to the Padres, surrendering five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance nudged his ERA up to 4.52 and his WHIP to 1.22 for the season. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.9 K/9, Pivetta's inconsistency in limiting runs continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His FIP of 4.57 suggests that his struggles are somewhat reflective of his underlying performance, rather than bad luck, indicated by a .291 BABIP. Owners should consider Pivetta a risky play, as his ability to eat innings and limit damage has been unpredictable.
