Marcus Stroman Struggles in Independence Day Defeat
by Chase Davis | Yankees Correspondent | Fri, Jul 5th 10:14am EDT
Marcus Stroman endured a rough outing in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed five earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings. This performance marks a slight dip in what has been a fairly solid season for Stroman, whose ERA climbed to 3.58. His FIP of 5.13 and a modest K/9 rate of 6.8 suggest that he's been somewhat fortunate to maintain such a respectable ERA, likely aided by a low BABIP of .247. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his underlying metrics indicate potential for further regression. Stroman's ability to limit walks and manage games will continue to be key, but today's game highlights some vulnerabilities that could affect his fantasy reliability moving forward.
