Roster %
Eligibility
Brayan Bello earned a win in a tight 3-2 victory over the Nationals on Sunday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out just one over five innings.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the low strikeout total, Bello managed to keep his team in the game and secure his fifth win of the season. His performance today, characterized by fewer strikeouts and a relatively high number of hits and walks given the innings pitched, might raise some eyebrows among fantasy managers. However, his solid ERA of 3.13 and WHIP of 1.07 this season suggest that he can be effective without necessarily racking up strikeouts. Fantasy managers should consider Bello a reliable option, though his low K/9 rate could be a concern in leagues that heavily reward strikeouts.
Brayan Bello (late) stated that he will start on Sunday against Washington.
Fantasy Impact

Brayan Bello delivered a stellar performance, allowing just one hit and zero earned runs while walking two and striking out seven over six innings in Friday's 8-1 victory against the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
This outing not only secured his third win of the season but also exemplified his growing reliability as a starting pitcher, allowing two runs or less in each of his last three starts on the mound for the Red Sox. With a season ERA now improved to 3.04 and a WHIP tightening to 1.05, Bello's fantasy stock is clearly on the rise. His consistent strikeout ability, marked by an 8.8 K/9 rate, combined with a solid 3.71 strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. While his low .236 BABIP might suggest some luck, his performance against a struggling Pirates lineup was nothing short of commanding. Fantasy managers should consider Bello a strong option, particularly in matchups against weaker offenses.
