Walker Buehler's humble outing helps Dodgers over Padres – Walker Buehler News

by Chase Davis | Dodgers correspondent | Fri, September 27, 8:16am EDT

Walker Buehler delivered a decent performance, allowing one earned run on five hits and a walk while striking out one over five innings in the Dodgers' 7-2 win over the Padres on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

Despite the win, Buehler's season was less than stellar, featuring a high ERA of 5.38 and a WHIP of 1.55 in 16 starts. His low strikeout rate of 7.6 K/9 and a worrisome FIP of 5.54 suggest continued problems. While this outing is helpful for the Dodgers, it does little to boost Buehler's shaky fantasy value, as his metrics point to potential continued volatility. Fantasy managers should remain cautious as his performance lacks the dominance that was once expected of him.
