Zach Eflin allowed four earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in Friday's 9-4 loss to the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
This outing nudged his ERA up to 4.08 and his WHIP to 1.19 for the season. Despite a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio of 7.50 and a solid FIP of 3.82, Eflin's inconsistency in limiting hits, as evidenced by a BABIP of .306, continues to hamper his fantasy reliability. His performance this season has been a mixed bag, making him a risky play in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that heavily penalize earned runs. Owners might want to consider matchup-based decisions with Eflin moving forward, given his current form.
