Kershaw Stumbles in Loss to Padres
by Jesse Garcia | Dodgers Correspondent | Thu, Aug 1st 8:18am EDT
Clayton Kershaw endured a rough outing, allowing three earned runs on six hits and one walk over just 3.2 innings in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance marks a concerning trend for the veteran left-hander, who has struggled significantly across his first two starts of the season. With a ballooning ERA of 5.87 and a WHIP of 1.96, Kershaw's ability to miss bats has notably declined, evidenced by a season K/9 of just 7.0 and zero strikeouts in this game. His high BABIP of .355 suggests some bad luck, but the lack of strikeouts and high WHIP are red flags for fantasy managers. Moving forward, Kershaw's fantasy value is in a precarious position, and managers might consider benching him until he shows signs of his old form.
