Question

In fantasy baseball what determines a Quality Start?

Answer 1

The first 2 answers got it correct.

Fantasy baseball doesn't actually have a "quality start". They might have the category, but their quality start goes off of what the MLB defines as a QS.

However I don't actually agree with that being a quality start. Now a days 3 runs is seeming to not be enough. I figure 7 innings at 3 runs would be the correct amount. The fact that they limit it to 3 innings, is quite...weird.

Good luck!!

Answer 2

The definition of Quality start is stupid.  Yes it is 6IP while allowing 3 Earned Runs or less.  But if the pitcher pitches 9 innings but gives up 4 ERs then it's not a QS.  How stupid is that?

Hmmm 9 IP, 4 ER = 4.00 ERA is NOT a QS

But 6IP, 3 ER = 4.50 ERA is a QS?  That's just stupid

Answer 3

at least 6 innings pitched while giving up 3 runs or less.

Answer 4

The pitcher has to pitch 6 or more innings allowing 3 or less earned runs.
