Mize Struggles, Tigers Still Triumph Over Rockies

Casey Mize allowed four earned runs on six hits while striking out seven over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's 7-4 victory against the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a rocky performance that saw him yield a considerable number of hits and runs in less than five innings, Mize's ability to avoid walks and strike out seven batters was a silver lining. However, his season-long issues with a high ERA of 4.47 and WHIP of 1.40 continue to be a concern for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains modest at 6.8 K/9, and while his FIP at 4.06 suggests some bad luck with a .327 BABIP, his overall effectiveness this season has been limited. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his inconsistency and lack of deep outings make him a risky play in most formats.
