JP Sears stumbles against Orioles
by Chris Schommer | Athletics Correspondent | Sun, Apr 28th 9:31am EDT
JP Sears endured a rough outing, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out eight over 6 1/3 innings in Saturday's 7-0 loss to the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance marked a significant setback for Sears, whose ERA ballooned to 4.64 from a previously more manageable figure. Despite a solid WHIP of 1.12 and a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.18, his season-long metrics like a 6.5 K/9 and a 4.95 FIP suggest that he might struggle to be a consistent fantasy asset. Fantasy managers should consider this start a warning sign and evaluate their reliance on Sears, especially in shallower leagues where pitching options might be more plentiful.
