Brayan Bello

Brayan Bello struggled mightily in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Cardinals, surrendering five earned runs on seven hits while striking out four over 4 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance marked a noticeable dip in effectiveness for Bello, whose ERA ballooned to 3.96 from a previously more respectable figure. Despite maintaining a solid WHIP of 1.13 and a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.44 on the season, his FIP of 5.24 suggests that some underlying issues may persist. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his high FIP indicates potential for more rough outings, despite a seemingly low BABIP of .238 suggesting some bad luck. Moving forward, Bello's fantasy value might be more volatile, and managers should consider matchup-based decisions with him.

Brayan Bello earned a win in a tight 3-2 victory over the Nationals on Sunday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out just one over five innings.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the low strikeout total, Bello managed to keep his team in the game and secure his fifth win of the season. His performance today, characterized by fewer strikeouts and a relatively high number of hits and walks given the innings pitched, might raise some eyebrows among fantasy managers. However, his solid ERA of 3.13 and WHIP of 1.07 this season suggest that he can be effective without necessarily racking up strikeouts. Fantasy managers should consider Bello a reliable option, though his low K/9 rate could be a concern in leagues that heavily reward strikeouts.

Brayan Bello (late) stated that he will start on Sunday against Washington.
