Jose Butto's Solid Outing Not Enough for Mets

Jose Butto (SP - NYM)

Jose Butto delivered a quality start but took the loss in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact
He allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. Despite his commendable performance, Butto's season continues to be a tale of strong pitching without much support, as evidenced by his 2.57 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across five starts. His high strikeout rate (10 K/9) remains a bright spot, though his win-loss record doesn't reflect his effectiveness due to the Mets' offensive struggles when he pitches. Fantasy managers should value his ability to rack up strikeouts and maintain a low ERA, but be wary of the Mets' inability to secure wins during his outings.
