Chris Archer wild and ineffective in loss Sunday

Chris Archer (SP - FA)

Chris Archer allowed four runs on six hits over five innings in the Pirates' 11-7 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday. He walked six and struck out three while falling to 1-5.

Fantasy Impact
And we get another poor outing from Archer, who seems to have unraveled since coming off the injured list. He now has a bloated 5.75 ERA and pitiful 1.67 K/BB ratio. There isn't much in the profile to suggest a turnaround, so other than name value, Archer doesn't provide owners with much. There's a buy-low opportunity here, but it comes with considerable risk. His next start comes Friday vs. Milwaukee.
