Reese Olson Stumbles, Tigers Still Triumph Over Royals
by Matthew Adam | Tigers Correspondent | Tue, Sep 17th 5:59am EDT
Reese Olson had a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three over just 2.1 innings in Monday's narrow 7-6 victory against the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a bit of a blip in what has been a solid season for Olson, who still has a respectable 3.50 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. Despite the shaky start, his season-long metrics, including a strong 3.31 FIP and a healthy 8.1 K/9, suggest that he remains a viable fantasy option. Olson's ability to maintain a decent strikeout rate and a good strikeout-to-walk ratio should keep him relevant in fantasy rotations, though outings like this highlight some inconsistency.
