by Chris Schommer | Tigers Correspondent | Sat, Jul 6th 6:57am EDT
Reese Olson delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out eight over 5 2/3 innings in Friday's 5-4 win against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a bright spot in Olson's season, showcasing his ability to maintain control and rack up strikeouts. His season ERA now improves to 3.22, complementing his solid 1.18 WHIP and 8.4 K/9 rate. Olson's performance today, particularly his high strikeout count, reaffirms his value in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts and ERA. While his win-loss record isn't stellar, his underlying metrics, like a 3.05 FIP and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio, suggest better outcomes could be on the horizon. Fantasy managers should consider Olson a viable starting option, particularly in matchups where strikeouts are at a premium.
