Jake Arrieta looked human but picked up the win against St. Louis
by Nathaniel Schwartz | Tue, Oct 13th 5:54am EDT
Jake Arrieta recorded his worst start since June, but it was just enough for the Cubs and their explosive bats. Arrieta only threw for 5.2 innings and surrendered four earned runs off of five hits and two walks. He still managed to strikeout nine batters and pick up the win.
Fantasy Impact:
While this start was probably not what most daily owners were expecting, Arrieta's nine strikeouts and his win salvaged what could have been a bad outing considering his steep price. Arrieta is still worth paying up for if the Cubs advance and he gets another start.
