Walker Buehler | Fantasy Outlook

Walker Buehler rediscovers his rhythm as a vital rotation anchor for the Padres

Buehler was electric in June, posting a 1.71 ERA over five starts, though his most recent outing saw a spike in earned runs that inflated his weekly ratios. He currently serves as a vital rotation anchor for a second-place San Diego Padres team that sits at 44-45 and is grappling with significant injuries to starters like Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove. Despite some recent volatility, he remains a fixture in the rotation and is fully healthy.

While his 4.77 season ERA and 1.43 WHIP suggest some risk, his 10.38 K/9 over the last month indicates his swing-and-miss stuff is returning to high-end levels. Our models project him to settle around a 5.06 ERA for the year, but his dominant June performance suggests he has a much higher ceiling if he can limit the walks. He is significantly more valuable than his season-long numbers imply as he continues to distance himself from previous surgeries.

Buehler is a two-start pitcher this week, beginning with a home matchup today against an Arizona team starting Brandon Pfaadt and his 6.15 ERA. He follows that up on Saturday against Toronto and Trey Yesavage, who enters with a much tougher 3.42 ERA. Given the high strikeout upside and the volume provided by two home starts, he is a priority play for fantasy managers in all formats. Two-Start Stream.
