Freddy Peralta stumbles against MarlinsJuly 27, 2024 | 03:04 AM

Freddy Peralta struggled in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Marlins, allowing three earned runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four over 5 1/3 innings. Writer's Analysis: This performance was a bit of a setback for Peralta, who has otherwise had a solid season with a 3.94 ERA and a strong 11.2 K/9 rate. The five walks are particularly concerning, as control has been an issue in this outing compared to his decent 3.30 strikeout-to-walk ratio prior to the game. Fantasy managers should be wary of his inconsistency, especially in matchups against teams that can exploit his control issues. However, his high strikeout potential still makes him a viable option in most fantasy formats, though it might be wise to temper expectations if his walk rate doesn't improve.
