Valdez Dominates Athletics in Stellar Outing
by Jesse Garcia | Astros Correspondent | Thu, May 16th 8:16am EDT
Framber Valdez dazzled on the mound Wednesday, tossing seven scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and two walks, striking out eight in a 3-0 victory over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores a season of solid starts for Valdez, who now boasts a 2.95 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP through seven starts. His ability to suppress runs while maintaining a decent strikeout rate (7.6 K/9) and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.82) continues to make him a reliable option in fantasy rotations. Despite a slightly elevated BABIP (.313), Valdez's control and efficiency in high-leverage situations should keep him as a favored starting option, particularly in leagues that value quality starts and WHIP.
