Nick Pivetta shines, Red Sox fall short against Dodgers
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sat, Jul 20th 6:54am EDT
Nick Pivetta delivered a stellar performance, tossing six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out eight in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his strong outing, Pivetta's efforts weren't enough to secure a win, leaving his record unchanged. His season ERA now sits at an impressive 3.87, complemented by a 1.09 WHIP and a 10.6 K/9 rate. Pivetta's ability to maintain a high strikeout rate and minimize walks, evidenced by his 4.57 strikeout-to-walk ratio, continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts and WHIP. However, his lack of run support and win potential in some games could be a concern for fantasy managers relying on wins as a key category.
