JP Sears took the mound against the Seattle Mariners and delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings in Friday's 2-0 loss.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a commendable effort that kept the game close, Sears's season continues to be a mixed bag with a 4.38 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. His 6.8 K/9 ratio and 4.80 FIP suggest limited strikeout upside and some underlying struggles, which might concern fantasy managers relying on him for more than just innings eating. Moving forward, Sears remains a risky play in standard leagues.

JP Sears endured a tough outing, allowing six earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in Saturday's 10-0 loss to the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

This performance certainly didn't help his already middling season stats, pushing his ERA up to 4.43. His WHIP, which is decent at 1.23, also took a hit. Given his FIP of 4.70 and a K/9 of just 6.9, Sears's ability to be a consistent fantasy contributor remains questionable. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on him in crucial matchups, as his season-long inconsistency and vulnerability in high-pressure games continue to be apparent.

JP Sears delivered a strong performance on Tuesday, tossing six scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and two walks, and striking out one in a 4-3 victory over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers given Sears's middling season stats, including a 4.18 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. His low strikeout count continues to be a concern, as evidenced by a modest 6.8 K/9 rate this season. However, his ability to limit runs and maintain a decent WHIP could still make him a viable option in deeper leagues or as a streaming candidate in favorable matchups. Sears's performance in this game might not turn heads due to the lack of strikeouts, but his effective control and run prevention are positives that can't be ignored.

JP Sears endured a rough outing in Wednesday's 16-3 defeat to the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed five earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings. This performance slightly inflates his season ERA to 4.34 and WHIP to 1.20, which could raise concerns for fantasy managers relying on him for stable stats down the stretch. Despite a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio and BABIP, Sears's susceptibility to big innings, as evidenced in this game, might make him a risky play in critical fantasy matchups, especially without strong win potential as indicated by his team's performance.
