His ability to strike out batters at a decent clip (9.2 K/9) combined with a strong 2.74 FIP suggests that he can be trusted in high-leverage situations.

Jose Alvarado notched a save in a tight 7-6 victory over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed one hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning of work. Despite a rocky start to the season with a 5.40 ERA, Alvarado's performance in this game could hint at a turnaround, especially considering his solid WHIP of 1.20 and a promising 9.7 K/9 rate. His ability to close games without issuing walks, as seen in this outing, adds a layer of reliability for fantasy managers looking for saves. However, his high ERA still warrants caution. Fantasy managers should monitor if his FIP of 3.26, significantly lower than his ERA, indicates better performances ahead.
