by Jesse Garcia | Phillies Correspondent | Thu, Jul 4th 8:27am EDT
Zack Wheeler delivered a solid outing in the Phillies' 5-3 victory over the Cubs on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings. This performance underscores Wheeler's consistency this season, maintaining a strong 2.74 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP across 18 starts. His ability to strike out batters at a high rate (9.6 K/9) while keeping walks in check contributes significantly to his fantasy value. Given his steady metrics, including a 3.36 FIP and a 3.61 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Wheeler remains a reliable option in all fantasy formats. His performance in this game should reassure managers, especially considering his ability to navigate through lineups while limiting damage.
