Reese Olson's Solid Outing Overshadowed by Loss
by Chris Schommer | Tigers Correspondent | Sat, Apr 27th 8:27am EDT
Reese Olson delivered a quality start, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out eight over seven innings in Friday's 8-0 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his commendable performance, Olson's record fell to 0-4, as the Tigers' offense failed to provide any support. His season ERA now sits at a respectable 3.18, and his FIP at 2.90 suggests that he's been pitching even better than his traditional stats might indicate. However, his winless record and elevated WHIP of 1.31 could be concerning for fantasy managers relying on wins and WHIP. Olson's high strikeout rate continues to be a silver lining, making him a potentially valuable asset in leagues that heavily reward strikeouts, but his overall fantasy value remains hampered by his team's lackluster performance.
