Corbin Burnes Battered by Astros, Fantasy Stock Wobbles
by Chase Davis | Orioles Correspondent | Fri, Aug 23rd 8:30am EDT
Corbin Burnes endured a rough outing, allowing five earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out only two over 5.2 innings in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance marks a notable dip in effectiveness for Burnes, whose season had been quite strong with a 3.28 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP after the game. The increase in hits and runs allowed in this outing could raise concerns about his consistency as the season progresses, especially considering his strikeout numbers were down significantly from his season average of 8.2 K/9. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next few starts for signs of rebound or further regression, as this game might hint at underlying issues or simply represent a bad day at the office.
