View More NewsMichael Wacha wobbles in rough outing against Rangers
Michael Wacha struggled mightily in Saturday's 15-4 loss to the Rangers, allowing seven earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three over just 3 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact
This performance further inflates his already elevated ERA to 5.50 and WHIP to 1.46 for the season. Given his current form and a BABIP of .357 suggesting some bad luck, fantasy managers might still hold a glimmer of hope for improvement. However, his high ERA and the inconsistency shown in recent starts could make him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues. His strikeout rate of 7.4 K/9 also doesn't offer much upside for strikeouts, limiting his appeal primarily to formats that heavily reward innings pitched or are desperate for starting pitching.
