Pepiot Shines, Rays Fall Short in Tight ContestRyan Pepiot delivered a stellar performance in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed just one earned run on two hits and struck out 12 over six innings, issuing no walks. Despite his dominant outing, Pepiot's effort wasn't enough to secure a win for the Rays, reflecting the ongoing challenge of receiving minimal run support. His season metrics, including a 3.64 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP, continue to make him a reliable option in fantasy leagues, particularly with his impressive 9.7 K/9 rate. However, fantasy managers should temper expectations for wins, given the Rays' inconsistent offense. Pepiot remains a strong play mainly for his strikeout potential and solid ratios.
