Brandon Pfaadt Wins Despite Rocky Outing

Brandon Pfaadt earned a win Monday, despite allowing four earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings against the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
The victory was a bit of a silver lining on an otherwise cloudy performance, as Pfaadt's ERA nudged upward to 4.08. However, his season-long metrics, including a solid 1.15 WHIP and a 4.48 strikeout-to-walk ratio, suggest that he remains a reliable option in most fantasy formats. His ability to maintain a decent strikeout rate (8.3 K/9) and a low BABIP (.293) helps mitigate the damage on days when he's more hittable. Fantasy managers should continue to view Pfaadt as a viable starting option, particularly in matchups where he can exploit weaker lineups.
