Joey Estes Shines, But A's Fall Short in 1-0 Loss
by Emily Maingi | Athletics Correspondent | Wed, Aug 21st 11:10am EDT
Joey Estes delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and one walk while striking out five over 7.2 innings in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Rays.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his solid outing, Estes was saddled with the loss, dropping his record to 5-7. His season-long metrics, including a 4.44 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP, suggest a pitcher who can control games but often lacks run support, as evidenced by his quality starts resulting in losses. His 6.7 K/9 and 4.56 FIP indicate that while he's not overpowering, he's effective at managing contact. Fantasy managers should view Estes as a reliable option, particularly in deeper leagues, though his win potential may be limited by the Athletics' offensive output.
