Jameson Taillon's tough luck continues in tight loss

Jameson Taillon allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out three over 7.1 innings in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite delivering a quality start, Taillon was saddled with the loss, a recurring theme that must frustrate fantasy managers given his solid 2.96 ERA and 1.15 WHIP for the season. His 7.0 K/9 indicates fewer strikeouts than many elite fantasy pitchers, which, combined with a decent but not spectacular 3.71 strikeout-to-walk ratio, caps his upside in categories leagues. However, his ability to limit runs and pitch deep into games makes him a reliable option in most formats, particularly in leagues that value ERA and WHIP.
