Walker Buehler Stumbles Again in Loss to Cubs
by Matthew Adam | Dodgers Correspondent | Tue, Sep 10th 5:28am EDT
Walker Buehler endured another rough outing, allowing five earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings in Monday's 10-4 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance continues a troubling trend for Buehler, whose season ERA has now ballooned to 5.95, with a WHIP of 1.64 across 13 starts. His strikeout rate remains lower than usual at 7.5 K/9, and his FIP at 6.17 suggests there might not be much bad luck involved, just poor pitching. Given these numbers, fantasy managers should be wary of starting him in any but the most favorable matchups, as he seems far from regaining his top form.
