Cade Smith cements his status as MLB's premier closer with a league-leading save total and All-Star honors.
The second-place Guardians—currently 52-48 and just one game back in the AL Central—have leaned heavily on Smith, who has been elite with a 1.80 ERA and 0.60 WHIP over his last 14 days. With primary closer Emmanuel Clase away from the team indefinitely, Smith has fully seized the ninth-inning role, racking up a league-high 28 saves. His recent form includes an impressive 14.40 strikeouts per nine innings over his last five appearances.
While his 4.33 ERA over the last 30 days indicates a brief mid-summer struggle, his season-long 2.93 ERA is much more indicative of his true talent level and align with our models. Smith has already shattered our season projection of 23 saves, and his 13.60 K/9 is consistent with his career benchmarks. The high strikeout rate and manageable walk numbers suggest he remains an elite ratio stabilizer and high-volume save provider.
Cleveland faces a busy seven-game week, starting with four home matchups against the division-rival Twins before heading to Tampa Bay for three games. While facing tough starters like Joe Ryan and Shane McClanahan presents a challenge for the lineup, Smith is projected for another 1.1 saves and a stellar 0.75 WHIP this week. His ability to miss bats keeps him locked into all fantasy lineups. Start.
