Nick Pivetta Stumbles in Loss to Orioles

Nick Pivetta endured a tough outing in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed three earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings. Despite a decent strikeout rate in this game, Pivetta's season-long issues with run prevention continued, as evidenced by his rising ERA now at 4.49. His WHIP remains solid at 1.13, suggesting some bad luck or timing issues might be at play, especially considering his .282 BABIP. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious; while his 11.0 K/9 is enticing, his inconsistency in limiting runs could be a liability in critical matchups. His performance today doesn't inspire confidence for a strong finish to the season.
