McArthur Seals the Deal in Royals' 4-2 Victory
by Jesse Garcia | Royals Correspondent | Thu, Jul 4th 8:31am EDT
James McArthur delivered a solid performance, allowing just one hit and striking out one in a scoreless frame to notch the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Rays.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a typical day at the office for McArthur, who has been a reliable, albeit not spectacular, option for saves this season. His ERA now improves slightly from an unimpressive 4.08, and while his WHIP remains a concern at 1.30, his ability to close games can't be ignored in fantasy circles. Fantasy managers should continue to view McArthur as a second-tier closer option, whose value is primarily tied to his role rather than his middling strikeout rates and peripheral stats.
