Clarke Schmidt earned the win Saturday, allowing three earned runs on four hits while striking out seven over five innings as the Yankees defeated the Tigers 5-3.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance marked Schmidt's third win of the season, bolstering his record to 3-1. Despite a solid outing, his ERA slightly increased to 3.50, and his WHIP now stands at 1.31. Schmidt's ability to maintain a high strikeout rate, now at 10.3 K/9, continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts. However, his FIP at 4.20 suggests some underlying concerns that could affect his ERA moving forward. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next few starts to see if he can sustain his strikeout prowess and manage his run allowance more effectively.
