Zach Eflin shines in Rays' victory over Nationals

Zach Eflin turned in a stellar performance on Friday, tossing six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and one walk while striking out six in the Rays' 3-1 win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers, especially considering Eflin's somewhat rocky 3.92 ERA. His season-long metrics, including a solid 1.12 WHIP and a commendable 9.86 strikeout-to-walk ratio, suggest that he can be a reliable option, though his K/9 rate remains modest. The improvement in his ERA and consistent control should keep him relevant in mixed leagues, particularly for managers in need of quality starts and WHIP help. This performance could be a sign of stabilization for Eflin, making him a potential buy-low candidate if other managers are still wary of his overall ERA.
