Freddy Peralta stumbles, Brewers fall short against Astros
by Chris Schommer | Brewers Correspondent | Sat, May 18th 7:43am EDT
Freddy Peralta took the loss Friday, yielding five earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings against the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing nudged his ERA up to 4.17 and his WHIP to a still-respectable 1.13 for the season. Despite the rough start, Peralta's high strikeout rate (11.6 K/9) and solid underlying metrics, such as a 3.58 FIP and a 3.76 K/BB ratio, suggest he remains a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. His ability to miss bats consistently should help him rebound, but fantasy managers might be growing a tad restless with the volatility in his run prevention.
