Michel Otanez seals the deal in tight 2-0 victory

Michel Otanez notched his first save of the season, striking out three while allowing just one hit and one walk in a scoreless inning as the Athletics edged the Giants 2-0.

Fantasy Impact

This performance underscores a potentially rising value in fantasy circles, especially given his robust 14.5 K/9 rate and a solid 2.92 FIP on the season. While his 3.50 ERA and 1.33 WHIP might not scream 'elite reliever,' his ability to miss bats and manage high-pressure situations could make him a sneaky pick in deeper leagues. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Otanez's usage in close games, as his role could expand if he continues to perform effectively in clutch situations.
