JP Sears Solid in Win Over Blue Jays
by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 8:16pm EDT
JP Sears earned a win Sunday, allowing three earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four over seven innings as the Athletics topped the Blue Jays 8-4.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a modest strikeout total and a trio of walks, Sears managed to keep the damage to a minimum, navigating through Toronto's lineup with relative efficiency. This performance slightly lowers his ERA to 4.32 and maintains his WHIP at a respectable 1.19 for the season. While his K/9 rate remains less than stellar, his ability to limit base hits (evidenced by a .269 BABIP) continues to make him a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues. Moving forward, Sears' fantasy managers should feel cautiously optimistic, as he has shown the ability to manage games well, even if he doesn't rack up high strikeout numbers.
