Hudson's efforts not enough in Rockies' loss
Despite a decent outing where Dakota Hudson pitched six innings, allowing three earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts against the Rays, his efforts were not enough to secure a win for the Colorado Rockies, who fell short with a 3-2 loss.
Fantasy Impact
This performance slightly elevated his ERA to 2.38 and his WHIP to 1.24 for the season, indicating a solid start to the year despite a lack of support to notch a win. His strikeout rate remains a concern for fantasy managers, standing at a modest 4.8 K/9, which limits his upside in categories or leagues that heavily reward strikeouts. However, his ability to maintain a decent ERA and WHIP could make him a viable option in deeper leagues or as a streaming candidate in favorable matchups. The lack of wins is frustrating, but Hudson's underlying metrics, such as a 2.99 FIP and a reasonable .290 BABIP, suggest he could see better days ahead if he continues to pitch at this level and gets more support from his team. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his strikeout numbers and team context to gauge his value moving forward.
