Fantasy Impact
This performance marks a setback for Crawford, who has struggled with consistency throughout the season, reflected in his elevated 4.36 ERA and 16 losses. Despite a decent WHIP of 1.12 and a solid strikeout rate, his inability to limit runs has been a recurring issue. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on him as a stable option, given his fluctuating performances and the potential for high earned runs, which could hurt ratios in critical matchups.

Fantasy Impact
Despite a decent strikeout count, Crawford's effort wasn't enough to secure a win, pushing his season record further into the red at 8-14. His ERA slightly rose to 4.09, reflecting a season that has been marred by inconsistency and misfortune, as evidenced by his elevated loss total and a BABIP that suggests some bad luck.

Kutter Crawford allowed two earned runs on one hit and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a solid individual performance marked by a commendable strikeout rate, Crawford's efforts weren't enough to steer the Red Sox to victory. His season ERA now sits at 4.08 with a WHIP of 1.07, reflecting a pitcher who can manage games well but struggles with run support and occasional lapses in control. His high FIP of 4.72 suggests some underlying issues that could be of concern for fantasy managers relying on him for consistent starts. Moving forward, Crawford remains a risky play in fantasy lineups, especially against high-scoring teams.
