Outlook Brad Keller
Brad Keller carving out stable late-inning value for the surging Phillies
Keller has been reliable lately, maintaining a 3.00 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over his last 12 innings while striking out 14 batters. He is currently working in a high-leverage setup role for the second-place Phillies, who are 32-29 and on a two-game win streak. With Jhoan Duran active as the closer, Keller's primary path to fantasy value remains holds rather than saves.
Keller’s 3.88 ERA and 10.24 K/9 on the season show a massive developmental leap from his early career starting days, aligning with his stellar 2.18 ERA from last year. Our models project him to finish with a 4.03 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 67 innings. While some minor ratio regression is expected, his elevated strikeout rate makes him a highly sustainable asset in holds leagues.
The Phillies finish a series with San Diego today before hosting the White Sox for three games. After pitching on back-to-back days on June 2 and June 3, Keller's availability might be limited early in the weekend, but he remains a premier high-leverage option against Chicago's beatable lineup. He is a priority hold in leagues that reward setup success.

Outlook Hunter Gaddis
Hunter Gaddis Shines in High-Leverage Setup Role for First-Place Guardians
Gaddis has been absolutely sensational over the last two weeks, posting a pristine 0.00 ERA, a 0.78 WHIP, and six strikeouts across his last five appearances. Operating as a primary setup option for the first-place Guardians, who currently boast a two-game winning streak, his high-leverage role is fully secure with teammate Erik Sabrowski on the injured list.
Although his cumulative 4.50 ERA and 1.71 WHIP reflect a rocky start to the campaign, his recent elite stretch looks like a return to his brilliant 2024 form. Our models project him to settle in with a solid 3.90 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP over 67.0 innings of work, indicating that his current shutdown streak is highly sustainable.
Looking at the remaining schedule, Cleveland wraps up with the Yankees before heading to Texas for three games. Gaddis has already locked down two holds this week and should get several more high-leverage chances against these tough opponents. He remains an elite, highly active option for managers chasing late-inning ratios and holds. Start him.
