Mitch Spence

Mitch Spence allowed two earned runs over five innings in a tight 4-3 victory against the Cubs. He scattered seven hits, issued one walk, and struck out six.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a somewhat rocky outing, Spence managed to keep his team in the game and ultimately contributed to a win. His season ERA now sits at 4.30 with a WHIP of 1.36, which are hardly eye-popping numbers for fantasy managers. However, his ability to strike out batters at a decent clip (7.5 K/9) and maintain a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.83) provides some value in deeper leagues. Fantasy managers should view Spence as a matchup-dependent streaming option rather than a regular starter.

Mitch Spence allowed two earned runs over seven innings in a 6-3 loss to the Astros on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

He scattered seven hits, struck out two, and issued no walks. Despite a decent innings count and limiting walks, Spence's low strikeout total continues to cap his fantasy upside. His season-long ERA of 4.33 and WHIP at 1.35, combined with a modest 7.4 K/9, suggest he's more of a depth option in fantasy rotations rather than a must-start. Owners should temper expectations, as his performance often lacks the dominance needed for higher fantasy scoring.

Mitch Spence allowed one earned run over 4 1/3 innings while striking out six against the Tigers on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite giving up eight hits, Spence managed to limit the damage to just a single run, helping the Athletics to a 7-6 win. This performance could be seen as a mixed bag; while the high number of hits is a concern, his ability to avoid walks and maintain a decent strikeout rate is encouraging. His season-long metrics, including a 4.42 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP, suggest inconsistency, but performances like this show his potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly if he can continue to minimize walks and maintain a reasonable strikeout rate.

Mitch Spence allowed two runs on five hits across five innings on Sunday against the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Mitch Spence racked up 10 strikeouts over seven innings, though he allowed four earned runs in a 4-2 loss to the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the high strikeout count, Spence's performance was marred by the four runs crossing the plate, which ultimately saddled him with the loss. His season ERA now sits at an underwhelming 4.67, with a WHIP of 1.33, reflecting ongoing challenges in limiting base runners and run prevention. While the double-digit strikeouts are a silver lining and boost his K/9, fantasy managers should remain cautious. Spence's inconsistency and high ERA make him a risky play, best suited for matchups against less formidable lineups or as a streaming option in deeper leagues.
