Phillies starter Zach Eflin allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out nine over eight innings in a loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. The loss drops him to 6-6 on the season.
Fantasy Impact
Eflin has been excellent for the Phillies of late and has a 2.81 ERA, but it is worth noting that some of the metrics tell a different story. His xFIP is nearly two runs higher at 4.66, and his Hard% is up more than 7% than last season when he had a 4.36 ERA. His next start is scheduled to come against the Nationals in Washington, but Eflin may be more of a sell-high candidate than someone fantasy owners will be able to rely on consistently for the rest of the season.
