Ross Stripling struggles again in loss to Astros
by Chris Schommer | Athletics Correspondent | Sat, May 25th 8:23am EDT
Ross Stripling had a rough outing on Friday, allowing six earned runs on eight hits while striking out three over 3 2/3 innings in the Athletics' 6-3 loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance further inflates his already bloated ERA to 5.82 and WHIP to 1.60 for the season. Stripling's inability to limit hits and runs has been a recurring theme, reflected in his high BABIP of .360 and low strikeout rate of 5.7 K/9. With a disappointing record of 1-9, his role in fantasy lineups should be scrutinized, especially in leagues that heavily penalize for earned runs and WHIP. Moving forward, unless he shows significant improvements, Stripling might be more of a liability than an asset in fantasy formats.
