Michael Wacha Wins Despite Control Issues
by Chase Davis | Royals Correspondent | Fri, May 10th 8:27am EDT
Michael Wacha navigated through a shaky outing allowing two earned runs on three hits and five walks while striking out six over six innings in Thursday's 10-4 victory against the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the win, Wacha's performance was far from clean, as evidenced by his high walk total, which continues to inflate his season-long WHIP to 1.44 and ERA to 5.15. His strikeout rate remains modest at 7.6 K/9, and while his FIP at 3.83 suggests some bad luck with a .336 BABIP, his control issues are a persistent concern. Fantasy managers should view Wacha as a risky play, given his inconsistency and the potential for damage to their team's WHIP and ERA.
