Paul Skenes delivered a masterful performance in Tuesday's 5-0 victory over the Cubs. He threw 100 pitches across five innings, allowing zero earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six.
Fantasy Impact
This outing further solidifies Skenes's status as a top-tier fantasy starter, lowering his already impressive ERA to 2.13 and maintaining a WHIP just under 1.00. His consistent ability to rack up strikeouts, evidenced by an 11.2 K/9 rate, combined with a strong 4.73 strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him a must-start in all formats. Despite a relatively high number of walks in this game, Skenes's season-long control and efficiency should keep fantasy managers confident in his continued success.
