Fantasy Impact
Lester threw 100 pitches in four innings and allowed four earned runs. Lester struck out seven but walked five Brewers. Lester's ERA is now 3.09 which is certainly still respectable. Do not read too much into this start as Lester had one of those days where he couldn't throw the ball exactly where he wanted. The inflated pitch count was not due to inability to get hitters out as that was evident in his strikeout total. Keep starting Lester in confidence.
