Madison Bumgarner loses in a pitcher's duel

by Jeff Krisko | Thu, Apr 21st 1:18am EDT

Madison Bumgarner allowed only two runs on five hits and a walk, striking out nine. He went seven innings in the Giants' 2-1 loss.

Fantasy Impact:

Bumgarner and the Giants were the unfortunate recipients of a Zack Greinke bounce-back game. On any other day, he would have gotten the win. So far this season, he carries a 3.91 ERA and 1.39 WHIP, which are astronomical for Bumgarner, but his HR/FB% is twice his career average and his BABIP is 30 points higher than average. Just point out his abnormally high walk rate and buy him low, just don't tell your opponent that so far this season, he has the highest K/9 of his career. His ERA and WHIP will get back in line.
