Zack Wheeler whiffs eight, but Phillies fall short
by Chris Schommer | Phillies Correspondent | Sat, Aug 10th 9:08am EDT
Zack Wheeler delivered a quality start, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the loss, Wheeler's performance was solid, maintaining his strong season metrics, including a 2.78 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. His ability to rack up strikeouts was on display, aligning with his impressive 9.8 K/9 rate for the season. Wheeler's consistent performance continues to make him a reliable option in fantasy rotations, especially in categories that value strikeouts and WHIP. His low BABIP of .243 suggests some luck, but his overall skill level keeps him as a top-tier fantasy starter.
