David Festa Falters, Twins Fall to Marlins 8-6
by Chase Davis | Twins Correspondent | Fri, Sep 27th 8:31am EDT
David Festa struggled in Thursday's matchup against the Marlins, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 4.1 innings in the Twins' 8-6 loss.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance reflects a continuation of Festa's challenging season, marked by a 4.90 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 13 starts. Despite a strong 10.8 K/9 rate, his inability to limit runs and manage deeper outings is concerning for fantasy managers. His FIP remains solid at 3.76, suggesting some bad luck with a .319 BABIP, but his inconsistency makes him a risky play in most fantasy formats. Moving forward, Festa's strikeout ability keeps him on the radar in deeper leagues, but his overall effectiveness needs to improve to become a reliable option.
