Fantasy Impact

This performance further inflates his already bloated ERA to 5.19 and WHIP to 1.56 for the season. Stripling's inability to miss bats, evidenced by a meager 5.5 K/9 rate, combined with a high BABIP of .352, suggests that luck hasn't been on his side, but it also underscores a lack of dominance. His season record worsens to 1-8, making him a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues. Given these numbers, fantasy managers should be wary of relying on him for quality starts, as both his form and fortune are clearly off the mark this year.

Stripling's performance this season has been less than stellar, with a ballooning ERA of 4.98 and a WHIP of 1.53 through nine starts. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Stripling in their lineups, as his current form and underlying metrics do not forecast a turnaround anytime soon. His role in fantasy rosters, for now, should be limited to a streaming option in favorable matchups at best.

Ross Stripling delivered a masterful performance on Wednesday, tossing six scoreless innings and allowing just three hits with no walks while striking out two in a 4-0 victory over the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a significant improvement for Stripling, who entered the game with a bloated 4.98 ERA and five losses. His ability to avoid walks and limit hits in this game could be a sign of adjustments paying off, though his low strikeout total continues to cap his fantasy upside. Given his high 1.34 WHIP and modest 6.02 K/9 rate this season, fantasy managers should remain cautious. However, this start might warrant a speculative add in deeper leagues or at least a closer watch in his next few outings to see if this performance is the beginning of a trend or just a one-off.

Ross Stripling turned in a decent outing, allowing two earned runs on six hits while striking out three over 5 2/3 innings in the Athletics' 3-2 victory over the Orioles on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the solid performance, Stripling's season has been less than stellar, marked by a high 4.98 ERA and 1.49 WHIP through six starts. His 6.6 K/9 indicates a lower strikeout rate which might not appeal to fantasy managers looking for high strikeout pitchers. The 3.64 FIP suggests some bad luck, considering his elevated .360 BABIP, but his winless record and modest strikeout totals make him a risky play in most fantasy formats. Moving forward, Stripling's fantasy value remains limited unless he can significantly improve his strikeout rate and overall command.

Fantasy Impact

His strikeout rate remains low at 6.8 K/9, indicating a lack of dominance on the mound. It's clear that Stripling is struggling to find his form this season. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on him in their rotations, as his current metrics do not inspire confidence for future outings.
