Michael King's effort wasted in Padres' loss

Michael King delivered a solid performance but took the loss in Saturday's 7-1 defeat against the Mets.

Fantasy Impact:

Michael King allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over five innings. Despite his commendable effort, the Padres' offense couldn't capitalize, leaving King with an undeserved loss. This season, King has maintained a solid 3.14 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP, indicators of his reliability in the rotation. His 10.7 K/9 ratio continues to make him a valuable asset for strikeouts in fantasy leagues. However, his win-loss record might not fully reflect his effectiveness due to occasional poor run support, as evidenced in this game. Fantasy managers should continue to view King as a solid option, particularly for his strikeout potential and generally low ERA and WHIP contributions.
