Jon Lester keeps it rolling with second win in three games
by Nathaniel Schwartz | Thu, May 5th 3:09pm EDT
Jon Lester only lasted 5 2/3 innings, but he did not allow a single run and picked up his third win of the season. Lester allowed a season-high eight hits along with two walks, but he also struck out five batters on a total of 103 pitches.
Fantasy Impact:
Lester is off to great start to the season with a 1.58 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP, however, he has allowed a combined 15 hits over his last two starts, so he may be slowing down a little bit. Regardless, Lester is a great option in all formats, especially daily games, since he has an 8.55 K/9 and the Cubs offense is one of the highest scoring units in the MLB.
