Mitch Spence Fans Ten, But A's Fall to Rays
by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Thu, Aug 22nd 7:17am EDT
Mitch Spence racked up 10 strikeouts over seven innings, though he allowed four earned runs in a 4-2 loss to the Rays.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the high strikeout count, Spence's performance was marred by the four runs crossing the plate, which ultimately saddled him with the loss. His season ERA now sits at an underwhelming 4.67, with a WHIP of 1.33, reflecting ongoing challenges in limiting base runners and run prevention. While the double-digit strikeouts are a silver lining and boost his K/9, fantasy managers should remain cautious. Spence's inconsistency and high ERA make him a risky play, best suited for matchups against less formidable lineups or as a streaming option in deeper leagues.
