Rodón Rides High in Yankees' Victory Over Astros
by Jesse Garcia | Yankees Correspondent | Thu, May 9th 8:10am EDT
Carlos Rodón delivered a strong performance in the Yankees' 9-4 win over the Astros on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact:
He pitched 6.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits, with no walks and seven strikeouts. This outing continues a solid season for Rodón, who now boasts a 3.14 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP through nine starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.0 K/9) while keeping the walks down (evidenced by a 3.07 strikeout-to-walk ratio) enhances his fantasy value, particularly in leagues that reward strikeouts and WHIP. Despite a somewhat elevated FIP (4.70), which suggests some potential regression, his performance against a strong Astros lineup should reassure fantasy managers of his reliability as a starting option.
