Hunter Brown delivered a strong performance in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners, allowing just one earned run on four hits while striking out nine over six innings.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his commendable effort, Brown's season statistics, including a 6.39 ERA and 1.64 WHIP, suggest inconsistency has been a theme this year. This game could be a sign of turning the corner, but fantasy managers should remain cautious. His high strikeout rate (9.7 K/9) continues to be a silver lining. Keep an eye on his next few starts to see if this performance is part of a positive trend.
Hunter Brown will make his next start on Tuesday against the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
The Astros listed their starters for the series in Seattle after originally listing all starters as "TBA." Justin Verlander and Spencer Arrighetti will follow Brown to close the series.
Hunter Brown allowed two earned runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three over six innings in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a seemingly solid line, Brown's performance was marred by inefficiency, needing 96 pitches to get through six frames. This outing did little to reassure fantasy managers given his bloated season-long stats, including a 7.06 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP over nine starts. His high strikeout rate (9.14 K/9) remains a silver lining, but the high BABIP (.355) and poor strikeout-to-walk ratio (1.83) suggest ongoing struggles with command and batted ball luck. Managers should tread carefully, as Brown's inconsistency makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
Hunter Brown allowed four earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings in Friday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a shaky performance that continued his trend of high ERA and WHIP for the season, Brown managed to notch his first win. His season ERA now sits at an inflated 7.71 with a WHIP of 1.93, numbers that are concerning for fantasy managers. The high strikeout rate of 9.9 K/9 remains a silver lining, suggesting he can still rack up fantasy points in leagues that heavily reward strikeouts. However, his high BABIP of .398 indicates some bad luck, though it doesn't fully excuse the overall poor performance. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his current form presents significant risk.
