Sonny Gray struggles as Cardinals fall to Cubs

Sonny Gray endured a tough outing in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed three earned runs on nine hits and struck out six over seven innings, absorbing his sixth loss of the season. Despite this hiccup, Gray's season metrics remain strong, boasting a 3.34 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP through 17 starts. His 10.9 K/9 and 5.04 strikeout-to-walk ratio continue to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts and WHIP. While the nine hits are a bit concerning, his ability to avoid walks and maintain a solid FIP suggests this performance may be more of an anomaly rather than a trend. Fantasy managers should keep faith in Gray, as his underlying numbers indicate potential for rebound performances.
