Seth Lugo turned in a stellar performance on Wednesday, allowing just one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings in the Royals' 6-1 victory over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
This outing continues a strong season for Lugo, who now boasts a 1.60 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP through seven starts. His ability to maintain a low ERA and WHIP, coupled with a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.82, reinforces his value in fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that reward deeper pitching metrics like FIP, where he excels with a 3.52. While his K/9 rate this season stands at a modest 6.2, his efficiency in limiting runs and managing contact (.246 BABIP) should keep him as a reliable option in most fantasy rotations.
