Expert Note
View More NotesA 5.22 ERA in April scared fantasy owners, but Buehler quickly recovered from the Dodgers' ill-planned "ease into the year" plan. He looked precisely like the pitcher his fantasy owners had hoped for after that, ending the year with a 3.26 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with a 29.2% strikeout rate. His meager five percent walk rate was one of the best in the league, and with an incredibly strong offense behind him once again, Buehler should excel in all four of the starting pitching categories in 2020. Have no concerns.

Walker Buehler allowed two runs on three hits and two walks across 2.1 innings Thursday against the Athletics. He struck out two.
Fantasy Impact
The major blow was a Matt Chapman opposite-field homer in the first inning. Buehler settled down after that, but he struggled with command throughout the outing. Buehler is poised for a strong season, so he'll put this start in the rearview mirror.
