Kutter Crawford stumbles in desert showdown
by Chris Schommer | Red Sox Correspondent | Sun, Aug 25th 5:31am EDT
Kutter Crawford took the loss Saturday, allowing two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings against the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a mixed bag for Crawford, who managed to keep his WHIP low but couldn't avoid the loss in a game where his offense provided little support. Despite a season marked by a respectable 1.09 WHIP and a solid 3.58 strikeout-to-walk ratio, his 4.22 ERA and 4.82 FIP suggest that he's been somewhat fortunate to avoid worse outcomes, considering the low .237 BABIP. Fantasy managers should be cautious; while Crawford can be a useful piece in rotations, his performance is likely inflated and could regress if his luck normalizes.
