Espino Stumbles in Relief Against Orioles
by Jesse Garcia | Wed, Jul 31st 9:21pm EDT
Paolo Espino struggled mightily in Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Orioles, allowing four earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out only one over four innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing did little to inspire confidence in fantasy managers, as Espino's season ERA ballooned to 8.31 with a WHIP of 2.08. His performance this season has been underwhelming, characterized by a low strikeout rate (3.12 K/9) and a high FIP, indicating that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck (.313 BABIP). Given these metrics, Espino remains a risky fantasy option, primarily in deeper leagues or as a desperation streamer, but his current form suggests limited upside.
