Sandoval Stumbles Again, Angels Fall to Yankees 8-3

Patrick Sandoval took another loss as the Angels were defeated by the Yankees 8-3 on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed two earned runs on just two hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings. Despite a seemingly solid performance in limiting hits and racking up strikeouts, Sandoval's season continues to be marred by inefficiency and high-scoring games, as evidenced by his bloated 5.34 ERA and 1.48 WHIP. His solid strikeout rate (9.5 K/9) remains a silver lining, but his high BABIP (.339) suggests he's been somewhat unlucky. However, the consistent runs allowed and his poor win-loss record (now 2-8) make him a risky play in most fantasy formats. His ability to miss bats is appealing, but fantasy managers should be wary of his overall impact on ERA and WHIP.
