Chris Flexen stifles Tigers, but Sox still fall
by Chris Schommer | White Sox Correspondent | Sat, Aug 24th 6:16am EDT
Chris Flexen delivered a quality start, allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a solid outing, Flexen's season continues to be marred by a high ERA of 5.34 and a WHIP of 1.50, which are less than ideal for fantasy managers. His low strikeout rate of 6.3 K/9 limits his upside in categories that reward pitchers for strikeouts. The lack of support from his team, evident in his 2-12 record, also diminishes his win potential. Fantasy managers should view Flexen as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against weaker lineups.
