Reid Detmers dismantled by Astros' offense
by Chris Schommer | Angels Correspondent | Sun, Sep 22nd 6:14am EDT
Reid Detmers had a rough outing, surrendering seven earned runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out three over just two innings in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance further inflates his already elevated ERA to 6.67 and WHIP to 1.54 for the season, which are alarming numbers for fantasy managers. Detmers's ability to miss bats is evident with a 10.6 K/9 rate, but his high ERA and WHIP are significant detriments. His struggles with consistency and susceptibility to high-impact innings make him a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues. Given these factors, fantasy managers should be cautious with deploying Detmers in their lineups, especially against high-caliber offenses.
