Houck's Effort Wasted in Red Sox Defeat
by Jesse Garcia | Red Sox Correspondent | Wed, Aug 14th 10:32pm EDT
Tanner Houck delivered a solid start, allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 6.2 innings in Wednesday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite Houck's decent outing, the Red Sox bullpen couldn't hold the line, leading to his no-decision. His season-long performance, featuring a 3.01 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP, continues to make him a reliable option in fantasy rotations, particularly in categories like ERA and WHIP. However, his modest strikeout numbers, with an 7.8 K/9, might limit his ceiling compared to other high-strikeout pitchers. Fantasy managers should continue to view Houck as a solid mid-rotation starter, especially in formats that reward ERA and WHIP more than strikeouts.
