Eligibility
Ross Stripling delivered a masterful performance on Wednesday, tossing six scoreless innings and allowing just three hits with no walks while striking out two in a 4-0 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a significant improvement for Stripling, who entered the game with a bloated 4.98 ERA and five losses. His ability to avoid walks and limit hits in this game could be a sign of adjustments paying off, though his low strikeout total continues to cap his fantasy upside. Given his high 1.34 WHIP and modest 6.02 K/9 rate this season, fantasy managers should remain cautious. However, this start might warrant a speculative add in deeper leagues or at least a closer watch in his next few outings to see if this performance is the beginning of a trend or just a one-off.
Ross Stripling turned in a decent outing, allowing two earned runs on six hits while striking out three over 5 2/3 innings in the Athletics' 3-2 victory over the Orioles on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the solid performance, Stripling's season has been less than stellar, marked by a high 4.98 ERA and 1.49 WHIP through six starts. His 6.6 K/9 indicates a lower strikeout rate which might not appeal to fantasy managers looking for high strikeout pitchers. The 3.64 FIP suggests some bad luck, considering his elevated .360 BABIP, but his winless record and modest strikeout totals make him a risky play in most fantasy formats. Moving forward, Stripling's fantasy value remains limited unless he can significantly improve his strikeout rate and overall command.
Ross Stripling endured another challenging outing, allowing three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
This performance continues a concerning trend for Stripling, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 5.32, accompanied by a WHIP of 1.65. His strikeout rate remains low at 6.8 K/9, indicating a lack of dominance on the mound. It's clear that Stripling is struggling to find his form this season. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on him in their rotations, as his current metrics do not inspire confidence for future outings.
Ross Stripling's latest outing on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers did little to reassure fantasy managers of his place in their rotations, as he allowed six earned runs over six innings in a 6-2 loss for the Oakland Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Despite racking up five strikeouts, Stripling was hammered for 11 hits and issued two walks, pushing his ERA to an unsettling 5.50 with a WHIP that ballooned to 1.72 for the season. While his 7.0 K/9 and 3.26 FIP suggest there might be some bad luck involved, especially with a sky-high .424 BABIP, these numbers offer cold comfort to those relying on him for fantasy production.
Despite delivering a commendable performance against the Red Sox, Ross Stripling took the loss, as the Athletics fell 1-0 on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Stripling allowed just one earned run on eight hits over seven innings. However, his offense couldn't back him up, leaving him with a hard-luck loss. The 34-year-old has a 3.75 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through two games this season.
