James Paxton stumbles, Dodgers still triumph over Brewers
by Chris Schommer | Red Sox Correspondent | Sun, Jul 7th 6:52am EDT
James Paxton delivered a middling performance in Saturday's 5-3 victory against the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings. Despite the Dodgers clinching the win, Paxton's outing was less than stellar, reflecting a season marred by inconsistency. With a ballooning ERA of 4.24 and a WHIP of 1.40, his fantasy relevance continues to wane. The southpaw's low strikeout rate of 6.2 K/9 further diminishes his appeal in leagues where strikeouts carry weight. Fantasy managers should view Paxton as a risky play, primarily useful in favorable matchups or as a streaming option in deeper leagues.
