Anthony Banda Struggles as Dodgers Fall to Phillies

Anthony Banda allowed three hits and one earned run while striking out two as the opener against the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his efforts, the Dodgers succumbed to a 5-1 defeat. Banda's performance this season has been solid with a 2.35 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP over 21 appearances, but outings like this highlight the volatility that can come with middle relievers in fantasy baseball. His 8.6 K/9 rate remains appealing for strikeouts, but his WHIP suggests potential for inconsistency. Fantasy managers should view Banda as a situational player rather than a staple in their bullpen, especially in leagues that heavily penalize earned runs or hits.
