Paul Sewald Stats

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald did not get the job done Saturday, giving up back-to-back walks before yielding a three-run home run to Jared Walsh in a disastrous eighth inning. He did strike out three batters in his inning of work. Sewald was fortunate that the offense bounced back in the bottom half of the inning, leaving him with a gift 10th win on the season. Sewald has been fallible of late, seeing his ERA and WHIP rise to 3.06 and 1.02 for the season. He's managed to reach 104 strikeouts in just 64 2/3 innings, which speaks to how significant his fantasy contributions have been despite lacking a consistent closer role.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald was living dangerously Friday, allowing one hit and two walks before finally getting a groundout to first to finish a 6-5 game against the Los Angeles Angels and earn his 11th save of the season. Sewald notably entered after possible co-closer Drew Steckenrider pitched the eighth inning. Both pitchers are worth rostering as the season draws to a finish, but Sewald still appears to have the slight edge for the highest-leverage spots, and therefore is a higher priority for fantasy managers.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald recorded his 10th save of the year against the Oakland Athletics Thursday, giving up one run on a Matt Olson home run and striking out two batters. The Mariners now have had three different relievers save at least 10 games, which is a major league record. Sewald continues to strike out many batters, with 95 in 58 1/3 innings, but he has a 4.50 ERA in September. With save chances seemingly split with Drew Steckenrider, Sewald is much more valuable in leagues that reward holds as well.
