Eligibility
Mitch Spence allowed two earned runs over three innings in a loss to the Rockies on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
He surrendered five hits and three walks while striking out four. This performance nudged his ERA slightly upward from 4.09, reflecting ongoing struggles with consistency this season. His WHIP and BABIP indicate that while he's been somewhat effective at avoiding disastrous outings, his control remains an issue, as evidenced by the three walks in just three innings. Fantasy managers should view Spence as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a streaming option when matchups are favorable. His ability to strike out batters is a redeeming quality, but his high walk rate could be a liability in tighter contests.
Mitch Spence will make his next start on Wednesday against the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
Spence has posted a 3.90 ERA across 12 appearances (one start) so far this season. He has yet to throw more than 4 2/3 innings in an appearance this season.
Mitch Spence allowed one earned run over 4 2/3 innings while striking out four in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a relatively solid performance, Spence's efforts weren't enough to steer the Athletics to victory as the team's offense lagged. His season ERA slightly increased to 3.90, maintaining a decent WHIP of 1.13. While his K/9 sits at a modest 7.8, fantasy managers should note his stable 3.29 FIP and 3.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio, indicating potential for better outcomes. However, given the Athletics' inconsistent support and his role, Spence remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, best suited for deeper leagues or as a streaming option when matchups are favorable.
