Lucas Giolito Struggles in Loss to Reds, Hurting Fantasy Value
by Matthew Adam | Wed, Sep 27th 5:12am EDT
Lucas Giolito had a forgettable outing against the Reds on Tuesday, lasting just 3.1 innings and allowing five earned runs on four hits and five walks.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite recording five strikeouts, Giolito's lack of control was evident, as he needed 98 pitches to get through his short outing. This performance further dampens his fantasy baseball outlook, as his season-long stats now include a 4.77 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. While his strikeout numbers remain solid at 10.0 K/9, his struggles with command and inconsistency make him a risky option moving forward. Fantasy managers should approach Giolito with caution in upcoming matchups.
