Chris Sale tosses five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in win
by Jesse Garcia | Braves Correspondent | Sat, Sep 23rd 12:03am EDT
Sale turned in a dominant performance against his former team, allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out seven over five shutout innings.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not factoring into the decision, Sale's outing was a positive sign for fantasy managers, as he continues to rack up strikeouts with an impressive 11.3 K/9 on the season. While his ERA sits at a less-than-ideal at 4.42, his 1.15 WHIP indicates he's still capable of limiting baserunners. With a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio of 4.39 and a high BABIP of .299, Sale's fantasy value remains intact heading into the final stretch of the season.
