Matt Strahm Stumbles Slightly, Phillies Still Prevail

Matt Strahm had a mixed outing in Tuesday's narrow 10-9 victory over the Blue Jays. He allowed one earned run on one hit and struck out two over one inning of work.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite this hiccup, Strahm's season has been notably strong, boasting a 2.18 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP with a high strikeout rate of 11.4 K/9. His performance this game, while not his cleanest, does little to tarnish an otherwise impressive campaign. Fantasy managers should continue to view Strahm as a reliable relief option, especially given his ability to maintain a low ERA and WHIP while posting high strikeout numbers. His role in high-leverage situations could still make him a valuable asset in leagues that reward holds and strikeouts.
