Matthew Liberatore | Fantasy Outlook

Matthew Liberatore faces volatility on the mound ahead of a divisional road test

Liberatore leads the rotation for a third-place Cardinals squad sitting at 61-60 on a two-game winning streak. Over his last 14 days, the left-hander has registered a 4.09 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 11 innings, despite a five-run bump in his most recent start. With St. Louis managing injuries across the pitching staff like Max Rajcic's absence, Liberatore's spot in the rotation remains completely unchallenged.

Across 23 starts this season, Liberatore has posted a 5.30 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 110.4 frames, lagging behind our projected 4.44 ERA and 1.32 WHIP baselines. While his swing-and-miss ability generates solid strikeout volume with 110 punchouts on the year, excessive base runners confirm that his elevated ratios are an accurate reflection of his current form rather than bad luck.

Liberatore makes his lone outing of the week on Friday in Chicago against the rival Cubs. He draws a difficult matchup opposite Clay Holmes and his 2.86 ERA, leaving little room for error on the mound. Given the challenging road environment and his ongoing ratio risk, fantasy managers should keep him benched this week. Sit.
