Fantasy Impact

This outing was a refreshing display of control and efficiency from Keller, who has had a somewhat erratic season with a 3.93 ERA and 1.33 WHIP coming into the game. His ability to avoid walks and keep the Brewers from scoring helped improve his season ERA and WHIP, showcasing his potential as a reliable fantasy starter. Given his solid strikeout rate and improving command, Keller's fantasy stock is trending upward, making him a viable option for fantasy managers in need of pitching stability.

Fantasy Impact

This complete game not only showcased his ability to control the game but also provided a much-needed boost to his season statistics. Despite a somewhat elevated ERA of 4.41 and a WHIP of 1.33 coming into this game, performances like this hint at a potential turnaround. His solid strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.75 and a reasonable BABIP of .307 suggest that he could stabilize and possibly improve as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should consider this outing a positive sign, possibly making Keller a savvy pick for those looking for pitching depth with upside.

This outing continues a troubling trend for Keller, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 5.18, compounded by a 1.48 WHIP. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.8 K/9, Fantasy managers should be cautious. Keller's inconsistency in run prevention makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.

Mitch Keller allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

This outing nudged his ERA up to 5.14 and WHIP to 1.49 through six starts this season, reflecting ongoing struggles in maintaining control and limiting base runners. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.2 K/9, his BABIP of .333 suggests some bad luck but also points to potential issues with pitch quality or defense behind him. Keller's fantasy managers should be wary as his high ERA and WHIP are damaging, though his strikeout abilities still offer some value in formats that heavily reward strikeouts. He'll look for better results next time out against the Athletics.

Mitch Keller endured a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over six innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

This performance nudged his ERA up to 4.80 and WHIP to 1.47 for the season, which are hardly inspiring figures for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains mediocre at 7.5 K/9, and despite a somewhat decent FIP of 4.09, his control issues were highlighted by a less-than-stellar 2.27 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Given these numbers and today's performance, Keller remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, particularly in leagues that penalize heavily for walks and earned runs. His inconsistency and high BABIP (.330) suggest that batters are finding it easy to get hits off him, further dampening his appeal.
