Ross Stripling took a tough loss on Wednesday, allowing just one earned run on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 1-0 defeat to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a solid outing, Stripling failed to record a strikeout, which continues a concerning trend for fantasy managers given his low season strikeout rate (5.1 K/9). His performance did lower his ERA slightly from a bloated 5.64, but with a WHIP still over 1.50 and a high BABIP of .342, it's clear that luck hasn't been on his side. Stripling's ability to limit runs in this outing is a positive sign, but his lack of strikeouts and high loss count severely caps his fantasy upside. Moving forward, he remains a risky play in most fantasy formats.
Ross Stripling had a rocky outing but managed to snag a win as the Athletics narrowly defeated the Angels 6-5 on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Ross Stripling allowed five earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings. Despite the victory, Stripling's season has been marred by high ERA and WHIP, sitting uncomfortably at 6.02 and 1.58 respectively. His low strikeout rate of 5.6 K/9 continues to limit his upside in fantasy formats that value pitchers with high strikeout totals. Given these metrics and his overall performance this season, fantasy managers should be cautious in relying on Stripling for consistent starts, especially in leagues where ERA and WHIP heavily influence scoring.
