Gray Struggles, Cardinals Still Triumph Over Pirates
by Jesse Garcia | Cardinals Correspondent | Thu, Sep 19th 8:10am EDT
Sonny Gray allowed four earned runs on nine hits while striking out eight over 5.2 innings in Wednesday's 10-5 win against the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the less-than-stellar outing, Gray's season-long metrics, including a 3.84 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP, remain solid. His high strikeout rate of 11.0 K/9 continues to offer fantasy managers valuable upside, particularly in categories or points leagues that reward strikeouts heavily. However, his susceptibility to the occasional rough outing, as evidenced by today's performance, underscores some inconsistency. Fantasy managers should continue to view Gray as a strong rotation option, albeit with a cautious eye on matchups that might expose his vulnerabilities.
