Pablo Lopez: Decent Outing, Twins Edge White Sox 3-2
by Jesse Garcia | Twins Correspondent | Wed, Jul 10th 9:33pm EDT
Pablo Lopez delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings in Wednesday's narrow 3-2 victory over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the decent outing, Lopez's season ERA remains inflated at 5.11, which continues to be a sore spot for fantasy managers relying on him for better numbers. His WHIP stands at a respectable 1.18, and a strong 10.5 K/9 indicates he still has the ability to rack up strikeouts. However, his high ERA coupled with a solid FIP suggests some bad luck might be at play, given his .306 BABIP. Moving forward, Lopez remains a risky play in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues where ERA and wins are heavily weighted. His strikeout ability offers some upside, but managers should temper expectations given the overall volatility in his performances this season.
