Ryan Pressly Seals the Deal, Astros Top Cardinals 8-5
by Chase Davis | Cubs Correspondent | Wed, Jun 5th 9:40am EDT
Ryan Pressly delivered a flawless outing, tossing a clean inning with one strikeout to notch a save as the Astros edged out the Cardinals 8-5 on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact:
Pressly, who has struggled with a bloated 5.01 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over the season, showed signs of returning to form in this appearance. His ability to avoid hits and walks in this game could hint at a potential turnaround, but his season-long inconsistencies might still leave fantasy managers wary. With a high strikeout rate of 11.6 K/9 and a solid 3.75 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Pressly has the underlying skills to succeed, but his high BABIP of .406 suggests he's been somewhat unlucky this year. This performance might be a step in the right direction, but he'll need more clean innings like this to regain full trust.
