Landen Roupp roughed up in loss to Cardinals

Landen Roupp struggled mightily in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Cardinals, allowing six earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over just 3 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marks a significant deviation from his otherwise solid season, where he maintains a 3.58 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP through four starts. The performance not only inflated his ERA but also raised concerns about his consistency in handling pressure games. Fantasy managers should be wary of potential volatility in Roupp's performances moving forward, especially considering his elevated WHIP and the fact that he has now dropped two of his last three decisions. While his K/9 and FIP indicate some underlying skills, this game was a reminder of the risks involved in relying on him as a consistent fantasy option.
