Doug Fister Shelled in Loss
7 years agoTexas Rangers starting pitcher Doug Fister gave up 6 runs over 6.1 innings in a 6-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The veteran allowed 9 hits and 2 walks whiles striking out 5. The outing nearly doubles his total earned runs allowed on the season, and his ERA now stands at a less attractive 4.02. Fister has been one of the more pleasant developments of the Rangers' 2018, but advanced metrics suggested a fall was coming with a 4.16 FIP prior to the loss. Fister may continue to be a solid streaming or matchup option, but if you still have the chance to deal him for greater value, this may be the time to pull the trigger.
