Charlie Morton Stumbles Against Mets, Fantasy Value Wobbles

Charlie Morton (SP - ATL)

In a less-than-stellar outing against the New York Mets, Charlie Morton's recent performance has left fantasy managers scratching their heads.

Fantasy Impact
Throwing 105 pitches over just 5.2 innings, Morton allowed five hits and, more concerningly, five walks, leading to four earned runs. His ability to strike out only four batters is a far cry from what fantasy enthusiasts have come to expect from the veteran right-hander. Despite this, Morton's ERA sits at a respectable 3.18 through his first two starts of the season, with a WHIP of 1.32 and a strikeout-to-walk ratio that has dipped to 1.43.
