Michael Wacha Wobbles But Doesn't Fall in Royals Victory
by Chase Davis | Royals Correspondent | Fri, Sep 27th 8:25am EDT
Michael Wacha allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings in the Royals' 7-4 win over the Nationals on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not factoring into the decision, Wacha's performance was sufficient to keep his team in the game, allowing the Royals' offense to secure the win. His season ERA slightly increased to 3.35, and his WHIP now stands at 1.19, which are still respectable numbers for fantasy managers. However, his low strikeout count continues to be a concern, as his K/9 rate remains modest at 7.8. Fantasy managers should view Wacha as a reliable, if not spectacular, option in their rotations, particularly valuing his ability to consistently log innings and maintain a decent ERA.
