Morton Whiffs Eight in Solid Outing Against Rockies
by Jesse Garcia | Braves Correspondent | Wed, Sep 4th 11:24pm EDT
Charlie Morton turned in a commendable performance on Wednesday, securing a win as the Braves topped the Rockies 5-2.
Fantasy Impact:
He pitched five innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight. This outing, characterized by high strikeout numbers and moderate control issues, slightly improves his season ERA to 4.24 and WHIP to 1.32. Despite these improvements, Morton's season has been marked by inconsistency, as reflected in his elevated FIP and fluctuating win-loss record. His ability to rack up strikeouts remains a bright spot, maintaining a solid 9.4 K/9 rate. Fantasy managers should continue to view Morton as a potential strikeout asset, though his overall effectiveness may be limited by his tendency to allow runs and base runners.
