Colin Rea secures win despite shaky outing
by Chris Schommer | Brewers Correspondent | Sun, Aug 25th 7:13am EDT
Colin Rea managed to snag a win in Saturday's 9-5 victory over the Athletics, despite allowing four earned runs on eight hits with no walks and five strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a mixed bag for fantasy managers, as Rea's ability to avoid walks and secure strikeouts helped mitigate the damage from the runs and hits allowed. His season ERA slightly increased to 3.61, but maintaining a solid WHIP of 1.15 and a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.14 continues to make him a viable option in most fantasy formats. Given his overall solid season metrics, including 12 wins, Rea should remain a steady part of fantasy rotations, although managers might want to be cautious in matchups against high-scoring teams.
