Ben Lively shines in Guardians’ 5-1 victory over Cardinals
by Chris Schommer | Guardians Correspondent | Sat, Sep 21st 10:45am EDT
Ben Lively turned in a solid performance on Friday, limiting the Cardinals to just one earned run on three hits and a walk over five innings, while striking out two in the Guardians' 5-1 win.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat inconsistent season for Lively, marked by a middling ERA of 3.80 and a FIP that suggests he's been a bit fortunate with a .262 BABIP. His modest strikeout rate of 7.0 K/9 continues to cap his fantasy upside, making him more of a streaming option in favorable matchups rather than a must-start. However, his ability to secure wins, now totaling 13 on the season, keeps him relevant in formats that heavily reward victories.
