Kutter Crawford allowed three earned runs on ten hits and zero walks while striking out four over six innings in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Despite this rough outing, Crawford's season numbers remain impressive, with a 1.35 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP through six starts. His high BABIP of .286 in this game suggests some bad luck, possibly inflating the number of hits allowed. However, his solid strikeout-to-walk ratio and FIP indicate underlying skills that could help him bounce back in future outings. Fantasy managers should consider this performance a minor blip rather than a trend, keeping faith in Crawford's ability to anchor their pitching staff.
