Matthew Boyd | Fantasy Outlook

Matthew Boyd offers valuable two-start upside as Cubs push for postseason

Boyd has settled into a groove lately, logging a 3.75 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 12 innings in his last two outings, highlighted by a one-run quality start. Holding down a crucial mid-rotation role for the second-place Cubs (77-60), the veteran left-hander has provided needed stability amidst rotation injuries to Justin Steele and Ben Brown.

On the year, Boyd owns an 8-3 record with a 4.11 ERA through 17 starts, which aligns well with our projected 3.82 mark. While his strikeout rate (7.3 K/9) is lower than his career peak, his command and ability to limit baserunners keep his floor high down the stretch.

Fantasy managers get a two-start week from Boyd, starting at home against division-leading Milwaukee before heading on the road to face Miami. With the Marlins matchup presenting a prime opportunity for clean ratios and a win, Boyd is well-positioned for weekly value. Start.
