Wheeler Whirls, Phillies Edge Angels 2-1
by Jesse Garcia | Phillies Correspondent | Wed, May 1st 10:54pm EDT
Zack Wheeler delivered a strong outing, allowing just one earned run on five hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance continues a stellar start to the 2024 season for Wheeler, who now boasts a 1.91 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP through seven starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (11.1 K/9) while keeping walks to a minimum enhances his value in fantasy leagues, particularly those that reward strikeouts and WHIP. The low BABIP (.238) suggests some luck, but his excellent FIP (2.53) indicates that his success is largely skill-based. Fantasy managers should consider Wheeler a top-tier starting pitcher option, as he consistently demonstrates the ability to dominate lineups and accumulate wins.
