Carlos Carrasco Clutches Win Despite Control Issues
by Chase Davis | Guardians Correspondent | Fri, Apr 19th 8:22am EDT
Carlos Carrasco earned a win Thursday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings as the Guardians edged out the Red Sox 5-4.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance brings his season ERA to a respectable 3.44 and his WHIP to 1.53, though his control issues continue to inflate his walk totals, impacting his WHIP and K/BB ratio, which sits at a less-than-ideal 1.33. Despite these struggles, Carrasco's ability to limit damage and secure wins has kept him relevant in fantasy circles, especially in leagues that value innings and strikeouts. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his high WHIP and low K/BB ratio could lead to more volatile outings.
