Dane Dunning Struggles, Rangers Outslug Red Sox
by Jesse Garcia | Rangers Correspondent | Wed, Aug 14th 10:49pm EDT
Dane Dunning allowed four earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Rangers securing a victory, Dunning's performance was less than stellar, continuing a trend of mediocre outings that have ballooned his ERA to 4.92 and WHIP to 1.40 for the season. His inability to limit runs and a high FIP suggest that he might be a risky play in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that heavily penalize for earned runs. While his K/9 rate remains decent at 8.9, his overall effectiveness is diminished by his high rate of baserunners and inconsistency in game outcomes. Fantasy managers should consider these factors heavily when deciding to roster or start him in upcoming matchups.
