Fantasy Impact

This outing continues a strong start to the 2024 season for Berrios, who now boasts a minuscule 0.85 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP through his first five starts. His consistent ability to suppress runs while maintaining a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio and a BABIP of .253 suggests that while he may not be the most overpowering in terms of strikeouts, his control and efficiency make him a reliable option in fantasy lineups. Given his performance so far, fantasy managers should consider Berrios a steady starting option, particularly in leagues that value ERA and WHIP.

This performance not only secured a 5-2 victory for the Toronto Blue Jays but also marked an impressive continuation of Berrios's strong start to the 2024 season. With this outing, his ERA dips to an enviable 1.45, complemented by a solid 1.13 WHIP and a K/9 rate of 6.8.

Jose Berrios managed to keep the Astros at bay in Tuesday's matchup, leading to a 2-1 victory for the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Despite allowing a somewhat concerning nine baserunners over six innings via six hits and three walks, Berrios limited the damage to just one earned run. His fantasy managers might be raising their eyebrows at the modest two strikeouts, a figure that does little to alleviate concerns over his declining strikeout rate, now sitting at a pedestrian 6.0 K/9 for the season. With a 2.25 ERA that looks shiny on the surface, the underlying 5.09 FIP suggests Berrios has been walking a tightrope. His 1.33 WHIP and a BABIP of .313 further indicate that while he's been effective, there's potential for regression if he doesn't tighten up his command or rediscover his strikeout touch. Fantasy managers should enjoy the ERA while it lasts but be wary of potential bumps ahead if these trends continue.

The Blue Jays have named Jose Berrios as their Opening Day starter.

Kevin Gausman likely would have been tapped to start on Opening Day, but he is currently dealing with a shoulder injury. Berrios turned in a 3.65 ERA and 184 strikeouts in 32 starts last season.
