Fantasy Impact:
Despite a somewhat rocky outing, Spence managed to keep his team in the game and ultimately contributed to a win. His season ERA now sits at 4.30 with a WHIP of 1.36, which are hardly eye-popping numbers for fantasy managers. However, his ability to strike out batters at a decent clip (7.5 K/9) and maintain a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.83) provides some value in deeper leagues. Fantasy managers should view Spence as a matchup-dependent streaming option rather than a regular starter.
