Brandon McCarthy earns win against Baltimore Sunday

by Steve Painter | Sun, Jun 24th 11:56pm EDT

Brandon McCarthy allowed five hits, three runs (all earned), and no walks while recording five strikeouts over five innings in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Orioles in Atlanta. With the win, his record improves to 6-3 and he carries a 4.92 ERA.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy isn't sexy, nor is he great. But he normally pitches well enough to keep the Braves in the game and with a pretty good offense backing him up, the formula has worked well this year. He's not widely owned but carries a respectable 3.68 xFIP. He's not imposing by any stretch but he's been effective, suitable for deeper format streaming perhaps.
