Clayton Kershaw Stumbles Again, Dodgers Fall to Phillies

Clayton Kershaw took the loss Tuesday, yielding one earned run on five hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings against the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a somewhat decent ERA and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio this season, Kershaw's performance this year has been marred by a high WHIP and BABIP, suggesting hitters are finding ways to capitalize on his offerings. His inability to pitch deep into games, as seen in this latest outing, continues to limit his fantasy upside. Owners should be cautious, as his current form does not inspire confidence for high reliability, especially in leagues where innings and WHIP heavily influence scoring.
