James Paxton shines in Dodgers' shutout win

James Paxton delivered a masterful performance in the Dodgers' 5-0 victory over the Padres on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw 95 pitches across six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and striking out four without issuing a walk. This outing not only secured his fifth win of the season but also showcased his ability to control the game effectively, a significant improvement given his prior 5.00 FIP and modest 5.2 K/9 rate. While his season-long WHIP of 1.41 and low strikeout-to-walk ratio might raise some eyebrows, performances like this could hint at a positive regression. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Paxton's next outings, as his ability to limit walks and maintain a low ERA could make him a valuable asset, especially in deeper leagues.
