Irvin Struggles in Short Outing Against Mets
by Jesse Garcia | Wed, Aug 21st 8:49pm EDT
Cole Irvin had a lackluster performance on Wednesday, allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings in the Orioles' 4-3 loss to the Mets.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing did little to reassure fantasy managers, as Irvin's season ERA nudged up to 4.82, and his WHIP remained elevated at 1.41. Given his modest strikeout rate of 6.2 K/9 and a FIP of 4.58 that suggests his struggles are somewhat deserved, Irvin's fantasy relevance continues to wane. His inability to work deep into games, coupled with a middling strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
