Spencer Arrighetti struggles again in loss to A's

Spencer Arrighetti took the mound Saturday and endured another challenging outing, allowing three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over five innings in the Astros' 3-1 loss to the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance slightly mirrors his troubling season trends, where he's been hampered by a high 6.93 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP through eight starts. Despite a solid 10.3 K/9 rate, Arrighetti's high BABIP of .395 suggests he's been somewhat unlucky, but it's clear that control remains a significant issue, as evidenced by his modest 2.15 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Fantasy managers should be wary; while the strikeouts are appealing, his overall inconsistency and vulnerability in allowing runs make him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
