Basso Stumbles, A's Still Triumph Over Cubs
by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Wed, Sep 18th 8:01pm EDT
Brady Basso had a shaky outing, allowing three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not factoring into the decision, Basso's performance was less than stellar, struggling to maintain the pristine ERA and WHIP he boasted coming into the game. His season ERA and WHIP will see a slight increase, but given his solid underlying metrics such as a 3.05 FIP and a 5.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio, this start might be more of a minor hiccup rather than a trend. Fantasy managers should monitor his next outings closely but not panic, as his overall numbers still suggest a strong pitching asset.
