Logan Allen stumbles against Braves

Logan Allen (SP - CLE)

Logan Allen struggled in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Braves, allowing four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 4 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact
This outing pushed his ERA to 5.46 and WHIP to 1.40 for the season, which are hardly inspiring figures for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains mediocre at 7.5 K/9, and his FIP at 5.24 suggests that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck. Allen's performance today further cements his status as a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues. His inability to pitch deep into games combined with his tendency to give up runs heavily limits his upside.
