Walker Buehler's Modest Outing Helps Dodgers Over Padres

by Chase Davis | Red Sox Correspondent | Fri, Sep 27th 8:16am EDT

Walker Buehler delivered a decent performance, allowing one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out one over five innings in the Dodgers' 7-2 victory over the Padres on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

Despite the win, Buehler's season has been less than stellar, marked by a high 5.38 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP across 16 starts. His low strikeout rate of 7.6 K/9 and a concerning 5.54 FIP suggest ongoing struggles. This outing, while helpful for the Dodgers, does little to boost Buehler's shaky fantasy value, as his metrics indicate potential continued volatility. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his performance lacks the dominance once expected from him.
