Zebby Matthews surges with pristine command ahead of a favorable divisional matchup
Matthews has been exceptional for the third-place Twins (65-72), recently firing eight shutout innings to cap a dominant two-week stretch where he logged a 1.33 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. With rotation staples Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez on the injured list, he has stepped up as the rotation anchor, showcasing elite control with a 16-to-2 strikeout-to-walk mark over his last three outings.
While his recent dominance will naturally regress closer to our 4.65 ERA projection, his impeccable strike-throwing ability keeps his floor elevated. Long balls remain his primary vulnerability after surrendering 40 career homers, but his suppression of free passes prevents multi-run blasts and supports his recent breakout.
Matthews takes the mound on Saturday for a road matchup against the division-leading White Sox, opposing Anthony Kay and his 4.23 ERA. With our models projecting another efficient, low-WHIP performance, fantasy managers should keep him locked in. Start.
