Chris Sale delivered a stellar performance in the Braves' 6-2 win over the Guardians on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed just one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings. This outing continues a solid start to the 2024 season for Sale, who now boasts a 3.69 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP through five starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.4 K/9) alongside a commendable 4.71 strikeout-to-walk ratio underscores his value in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward strikeouts and WHIP. While his BABIP suggests some luck, his strong FIP (3.57) indicates that his performance is not far off from his actual results. Fantasy managers should continue to view Sale as a high-upside starting option, especially in matchups like these where he can dominate.
