Charlie Morton Struggles in Independence Day Outing

Charlie Morton took the mound against the Giants and ended up on the losing side of a 4-2 score.
Fantasy Impact:
Charlie Morton allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings in Thursday's loss to the Giants. This performance slightly inflates his ERA to just above the league average, now standing at 3.96, and continues to reflect his season-long struggle with consistency. His FIP of 4.07 suggests that some of his struggles can be attributed to factors beyond his control, but a WHIP of 1.25 and a K/9 of 9.1 indicate that he still possesses the ability to be a valuable fantasy asset. However, fantasy managers should be cautious, as his fluctuating performances might make him a risky play depending on the matchup.
