Zach Eflin stumbles as Orioles fall to Rays
by Chris Schommer | Orioles Correspondent | Sun, Sep 8th 9:04am EDT
Zach Eflin struggled in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Rays, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over 5 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance slightly tarnishes what has been a solid season for Eflin, who entered the game with a commendable 3.65 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. His inability to go deeper into the game and limit hits this time around could raise concerns about his consistency, especially in critical matchups. However, his season-long metrics, including a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio and a decent FIP, suggest that this outing might be more of an anomaly than a trend. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely but not panic based on one subpar outing.
