Verlander Struggles Again in Loss to Reds
by Jesse Garcia | Wed, Apr 9th 8:56pm EDT
Justin Verlander allowed five earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out nine over 5.2 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing continues a troubling trend for Verlander, as he now holds a 6.92 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP through three starts this season. His strikeout rate remains solid at 11.1 K/9, but the elevated earned run average and poor strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.67 suggest he may be struggling with command. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution, but the veteran will look to turn things around in his next outing.
