Brewers' Chase Anderson: Five ineffective frames in no-decision

Anderson gave up four runs (three earned) on eight hits over five innings in Texas on Wednesday. He struck out two and walked two while avoiding the decision.

Analysis:

Despite his travails, Anderson actually held a 5-4 lead when he left the game, but the Brewers' bullpen ended up blowing it. Up until this game, he'd been working on a surprisingly excellent September -- a 1.21 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 22.1 innings spanning four starts -- and actually posted decent numbers on the whole from late July through Wednesday, his final start of the season. Even so, Anderson's modest strikeout totals, middling control and proneness to the long ball are not good attributes in a fantasy starter. He'll very likely go undrafted in most leagues next year.
