His season ERA now improves to an impressive 3.00, complemented by a solid 1.17 WHIP and an 8.3 K/9 rate. Given his consistent performance throughout the season, including a strong 3.53 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a stable .284 BABIP, Myers remains a reliable option in fantasy leagues. His ability to maintain low scoring games and accumulate strikeouts makes him a valuable asset for fantasy managers looking for steady starting pitching as the season winds down.

Jackson Chourio went 2-for-5 with a double and a stolen base as the Brewers blanked the Mets 6-0.
Fantasy Impact: His performance included a couple of strikeouts, but he managed to contribute positively with his speed and contact hitting. Chourio's season has been solid, maintaining a .275 average with a decent power-speed combo, highlighted by 21 homers and 22 stolen bases. His ability to add value through extra-base hits and stolen bases keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats, especially given his consistent playing time. While the strikeouts are a bit of a concern, his overall production makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups.

Willy Adames went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in the Brewers' 6-0 win over the Mets.
Fantasy Impact: His performance today, while solid, mirrors his season-long trend of moderate batting average and strong RBI production. Adames's ability to contribute across multiple categories, including power and occasional speed, makes him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. However, his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern, potentially capping his batting average upside. Fantasy managers should continue to leverage his power and RBI potential.
