Eligibility
Seth Lugo allowed five earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
Despite this rough outing, Lugo's season has been impressive, boasting a 2.13 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP over 13 starts. This game, however, might raise some eyebrows among fantasy managers due to the spike in earned runs, which could hint at potential vulnerabilities, especially if his BABIP normalizes from its quite low .254. His solid strikeout-to-walk ratio remains a redeeming factor, but fantasy managers should watch closely to see if this performance is a blip or the start of a trend.
Seth Lugo turned in a stellar performance in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Twins, delivering a strong six-inning outing.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed just one earned run on six hits and three walks while striking out five. This outing is a continuation of Lugo's excellent season, where he's maintained a superb 1.72 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP across 12 starts. His ability to limit runs and maintain a high strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.67) makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward ERA, WHIP, and wins. Lugo's consistency and control, evidenced by a low 0.256 BABIP and a solid 3.33 FIP, suggest he should remain a top-tier starter in fantasy rotations. His performance today only solidifies his status as a reliable option moving forward.

Fantasy Impact
This outing continues a strong season for Lugo, who now boasts an impressive 1.74 ERA and 0.97 WHIP through 11 starts. His ability to limit base runners and runs has been a boon for fantasy managers, especially considering his solid 4.07 strikeout-to-walk ratio and low BABIP of .250. While his strikeouts per nine innings might not dazzle, his consistent performance and ability to secure wins in a capable Royals squad make him a reliable option in most fantasy formats.
Seth Lugo delivered a strong performance, allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out 10 over 5 2/3 innings in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
This outing continues a stellar season for Lugo, who now boasts a 1.79 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP through 10 starts. His 10 strikeouts in this game highlight his ability to dominate opposing hitters, and his season-long metrics, including a 3.32 FIP and a 4.46 strikeout-to-walk ratio, suggest that his success is no fluke. Fantasy managers should continue to view Lugo as a high-end starting option, especially given his consistent performance and ability to rack up strikeouts. His low BABIP of .258 also indicates some luck, but his underlying stats show he's making quality pitches.
Seth Lugo delivered a masterful performance, allowing just one earned run on five hits and zero walks while striking out 12 over eight innings in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
This outing not only underscores Lugo's dominance but also significantly bolsters his already impressive season stats. With a 1.81 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP through nine starts, Lugo continues to be a reliable asset for fantasy managers. His high strikeout count in this game is particularly encouraging, given his relatively modest 7.2 K/9 rate this season. Maintaining a 4.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggests Lugo could sustain his high-level performance, making him a must-start in all fantasy formats.
