Aaron Nola Stumbles Against Dodgers, Phillies Fall 5-3
by Matthew Adam | Phillies Correspondent | Tue, Aug 6th 6:26am EDT
Aaron Nola struggled to contain the Dodgers, surrendering four earned runs on eight hits while striking out four over six innings in Monday's 5-3 loss.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance slightly inflates his season ERA to 3.54 and WHIP to 1.10, which are still respectable numbers in fantasy terms. Despite the setback, Nola's solid K/9 rate of 8.5 and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.94 continue to make him a valuable asset in most fantasy leagues. His ability to limit walks, as evidenced again by issuing none in this outing, helps mitigate the damage of nights like these. Fantasy managers should keep faith in Nola, as his underlying metrics suggest he can rebound from this less-than-ideal start.
