by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Thu, Jul 4th 8:38am EDT
Joey Estes delivered a masterclass performance, tossing a complete game shutout, allowing just five hits and one walk while striking out four in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a significant highlight in Estes's season, showcasing his ability to control the game and efficiently handle a lineup. His season ERA dipped to 4.39, and his WHIP improved to 1.12, which are encouraging signs for fantasy managers. Estes's low strikeout rate (7.0 K/9) remains a concern for those needing punchouts, but his excellent control and ability to induce weak contact (0.263 BABIP) can make him a valuable asset in deeper leagues or as a streaming option in favorable matchups. This performance could be a turning point for Estes, suggesting potential for more consistency as the season progresses.
