Ben Lively Struggles, Guardians Still Triumph
by Matthew Adam | Guardians Correspondent | Tue, Aug 13th 6:21am EDT
Ben Lively had a rough outing in Monday's narrow 9-8 victory over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed three earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out only one over 3.2 innings. This performance was a step back for Lively, who has a relatively solid with a 3.71 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP despite the rough outing. His inability to control the strike zone this game, evidenced by his low strikeout count and high number of walks, could be concerning for fantasy managers relying on him for better ratios and more strikeouts. Given his elevated 5.10 FIP and a strikeout-to-walk ratio that has room for improvement, fantasy managers might want to consider other options if Lively's command issues persist.
