Walker Buehler struggles in loss to Reds
by Chris Schommer | Dodgers Correspondent | Sun, May 26th 6:18am EDT
Walker Buehler took the loss Saturday, allowing three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over 5 2/3 innings against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing pushed his ERA to 4.26 and WHIP to 1.21 for the season, reflecting a somewhat rocky start to the year. Despite a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio of 5.67 and a BABIP of .294, Buehler's elevated FIP of 5.68 suggests that he might be struggling more than traditional stats indicate. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his current performance could hint at underlying issues that may not correct themselves quickly. His strikeout rate of 8.1 K/9 is solid but not elite, making him a risky play in fantasy leagues where pitching dominance is crucial.
