Cease Cruises Past Dodgers in Dominant Outing
by Jesse Garcia | Padres Correspondent | Thu, Aug 1st 8:20am EDT
Dylan Cease delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings in Wednesday's 8-1 victory over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing continues a solid season for Cease, who now boasts a 3.42 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP across 24 starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (11.5 K/9) and a favorable 4.05 strikeout-to-walk ratio underscores his value in fantasy leagues, particularly those that reward strikeouts heavily. The consistency in limiting base hits, as evidenced by a .256 BABIP, and his knack for deep outings make him a reliable option moving forward. Cease's performance against a competitive Dodgers lineup should reassure fantasy managers of his potential as a top-tier starter in all formats.
