Fantasy Impact

Despite a solid strikeout rate in this outing, Peralta's inability to secure a win in a critical game reflects the sometimes harsh realities of fantasy baseball, where good performances don't always align with wins. His season stats, including a respectable 3.68 ERA and a strong 10.4 K/9, suggest he remains a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. However, his 4.25 FIP indicates some underlying concerns that could affect his reliability as a top-tier starter. Owners should continue to monitor his outings closely, especially in leagues where strikeouts and ERA are highly valued.

Freddy Peralta delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out nine over five innings in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

This outing, marked by high strikeout numbers and minimal hits allowed, underscores Peralta's ability to dominate on the mound despite a relatively high season ERA of 3.69 and a WHIP of 1.23. His consistent strikeout rate (10.3 K/9) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward strikeouts. The quality start should help maintain his role as a reliable starter in fantasy rotations, though his FIP of 4.33 suggests some underlying concerns that could affect his performance stability moving forward.

Freddy Peralta earned a win after allowing one earned run on six hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a somewhat shaky control that led to four walks, Peralta managed to limit the damage to just one run, which speaks to his ability to pitch effectively under pressure. This performance slightly lowers his season ERA to 3.75 and continues to demonstrate his knack for strikeouts, maintaining a strong 10.1 K/9 rate. His FIP of 4.35 suggests some underlying concerns, but his ability to secure wins, now totaling 11, keeps him relevant in fantasy circles, especially in formats that value strikeouts and wins.
