Ronel Blanco delivered a strong performance Saturday, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings in a 10-4 victory over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing underscores Blanco's solid season, marked by a commendable 2.88 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP across 28 starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.0 K/9) while keeping the walks relatively low contributes significantly to his fantasy value. Despite a slightly concerning 4.27 FIP, which suggests some luck involved in his ERA, Blanco's consistent performance, including increasing his win tally to 12, makes him a reliable option for fantasy managers seeking stability in their pitching rotations. His low BABIP (.225) might hint at potential regression, but for now, he remains a strong asset.
