3 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman went seven strong innings against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing just two earned runs, four hits, and one walk in the Mets 2-0 loss. Stroman tied his season-high with eight strikeouts as well. Despite the excellent start, Stroman was outdueled by Kyle Hendricks, dropping his record to 6-5 on the season. Despite the somewhat underwhelming record, Stroman has had an incredible start to the 2021 campaign posting a 2.35 ERA, a 1.04 WHIP, with 75 strikeouts in 84 1/3 innings pitched. With Thursday's performance, Stroman has also now posted six consecutive quality starts dating back to May 21. Stroman remains a consistent, valuable starting pitcher in all fantasy formats. Managers should keep Stroman active for his next start on Tuesday at home against the Braves, a team he has not yet faced this season.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
