Fantasy Impact

He surrendered five hits, walked three, and struck out three. Despite the Athletics' comfortable win, Spence's performance was hardly inspiring, maintaining a season ERA of 4.67 and a WHIP of 1.33. His fantasy relevance remains limited, primarily due to a lackluster K/9 rate of 7.6 and a FIP that suggests his results are somewhat deserved. Owners should view Spence as a depth option at best, given his inability to dominate in key categories or consistently limit runs.

Mitch Spence had a rough outing, allowing six earned runs and five walks over 3 2/3 innings in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

His performance was marred by inefficiency and lack of control, as evidenced by his 94 pitches to get through just over three innings while striking out six. This game inflates his ERA to 4.75 and raises concerns about his consistency and ability to handle pressure situations. Given his season stats, including a relatively high WHIP of 1.32 and a modest strikeout rate, fantasy managers might consider this performance a red flag. Spence's role in high-leverage situations could be reconsidered, making him a risky play in fantasy leagues.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his commendable effort, Spence was saddled with the loss as the Athletics fell 3-2.

His 7.1 K/9 and 3.33 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest he's not the most overpowering, but he's proving to be reliable. Fantasy managers should view him as a steady, if not spectacular, option, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming candidate against favorable matchups.
