Justin Martinez Seals the Deal Against Guardians
by Jesse Garcia | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Wed, Aug 7th 10:03pm EDT
Justin Martinez notched his second save of the season, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two in a scoreless inning as the Diamondbacks edged out the Guardians 5-3 on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores Martinez's growing reliability in high-pressure situations, despite a season that has seen some ups and downs. With a solid ERA of 1.97 and a K/9 rate of 10.9, he's proving to be a valuable asset, especially in leagues that value strikeouts and saves. However, his WHIP of 1.21 and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.35 suggest there's still room for improvement in terms of control. Fantasy managers should consider Martinez a viable option for holds and occasional saves, but be wary of potential walks that could hurt WHIP.
