Eligibility
Lance Lynn struggled with control but managed to limit the damage in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact
Lynn allowed three earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out seven over five innings. Despite the less-than-stellar outing, Lynn's season ERA slightly rose to 2.81, but his WHIP now sits at a concerning 1.36. His ability to strike out seven batters is a silver lining, maintaining a solid 9.1 K/9 rate.
Lance Lynn delivered a solid performance, allowing just one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out one over seven innings in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a textbook example of efficiency and control, despite the low strikeout total, which might raise some eyebrows among fantasy managers used to seeing higher K numbers from Lynn. The veteran's season ERA now sits at an impressive 2.18. However, his FIP of 4.95 suggests some potential regression, indicating that his current success might be somewhat fluky, especially with a low BABIP of .241.
Despite a commendable effort from Lance Lynn, who almost flirted with a no-hitter through five innings against the Phillies, his stellar performance was squandered in a 4-3 loss for the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Lynn's line for the night—1 hit, 4 walks, and 6 strikeouts over 94 pitches and 5 innings—showcased his ability to dominate opposing hitters, even if his control was slightly off with the number of walks. Lynn now has a 2.63 ERA, 18 strikeouts, and a 1.39 WHIP through three games this season. The 36-year-old will need to find better control moving forward, as he currently has six walks through 13 2/3 innings pitched.
Lance Lynn allowed four runs on eight hits across 4 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts and one walk in a no-decision against the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Lynn got off to a strong start with three scoreless frames before he ran into some trouble. Jake Burger opened up the scoring for Miami with a solo blast to open the fourth inning before Josh Bell and Burger went back-to-back in the fifth inning. Lynn is slated to face the Phillies next.
Despite not factoring into the decision in the Cardinals' narrow 6-5 victory over the Dodgers on Saturday, Lance Lynn turned in a solid performance on the mound.
Fantasy Impact
Over four innings, Lynn allowed just four hits and one walk while striking out five. The right-hander has been prone to giving up home runs in bunches in past seasons, and will need to show more consistency on the mound before fantasy managers can trust Lynn as a reliable starting option moving forward.
