Stripling Stifles Giants, But A's Fall Short
by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Thu, Aug 1st 8:24am EDT
Ross Stripling took a tough loss on Wednesday, allowing just one earned run on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 1-0 defeat to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a solid outing, Stripling failed to record a strikeout, which continues a concerning trend for fantasy managers given his low season strikeout rate (5.1 K/9). His performance did lower his ERA slightly from a bloated 5.64, but with a WHIP still over 1.50 and a high BABIP of .342, it's clear that luck hasn't been on his side. Stripling's ability to limit runs in this outing is a positive sign, but his lack of strikeouts and high loss count severely caps his fantasy upside. Moving forward, he remains a risky play in most fantasy formats.
