Brayan Bello battles, Sox outslug A's in wild win

Brayan Bello notched a win despite allowing five earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out 11 over 5.1 innings in Tuesday's 12-9 victory over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact:
While Bello's strikeout numbers were impressive, his overall performance this season continues to be a mixed bag, characterized by a high 5.40 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP. His ability to miss bats, as evidenced by his 8.9 K/9 rate and Tuesday's 11 strikeouts, remains a strong point. However, his inconsistency in run prevention suggests that fantasy managers should temper expectations. Bello remains a risky play, best suited for matchups where his strikeout potential can be maximized without too much damage to ERA and WHIP.
