Ronel Blanco's Solid Start Not Enough in Astros' Defeat
by Matthew Adam | Astros Correspondent | Tue, Aug 27th 6:09am EDT
Ronel Blanco delivered a quality start but didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings. Despite this solid performance, Blanco's season continues to be a mixed bag for fantasy managers. His ERA remains impressive at 3.14, and a WHIP of 1.08 is excellent, but the high FIP of 4.43 suggests some underlying concerns that could affect his performance moving forward. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his low BABIP of .216 might indicate some luck involved in his outcomes. While he racks up decent strikeout numbers, his moderate strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.47 shows that control can sometimes be an issue. Keep an eye on his next few starts to see if he can maintain his ERA or if regression might set in.
