Dunning allows three runs vs. Astros

In a gritty Sunday showdown against the Houston Astros, Dane Dunning's mediocre performance on the mound couldn't secure the win for Texas.
Fantasy Impact:
Throwing 97 pitches over 6.2 innings, Dunning allowed four hits and three earned runs while walking three and striking out seven. Despite the decent strikeout numbers, his inability to secure a win in the Rangers' 3-1 loss, coupled with a season ERA now sitting at 4.15 and a WHIP of 1.08, raises questions about his reliability as a fantasy starter. His FIP of 6.18 suggests he's been somewhat lucky to have the ERA he does, considering his BABIP is unsustainably low at .148. Fantasy managers should tread carefully, as Dunning's current form presents a volatile mix of high strikeout potential and risk of damaging ratios.
