Outlook Jacob deGrom
Two-start week offers deGrom a prime opportunity to rebound
The second-place Rangers are currently riding a three-game win streak, but they will need Jacob deGrom to find consistency as core pieces like Corey Seager work back from injury. deGrom rebounded in his last outing, yielding just two runs over six frames, but a rough prior stretch leaves him with a 5.77 ERA over his last 30 days. He remains a fixture in the Texas starting rotation, looking to build on his recent quality start.
While his recent numbers show some vulnerability, our season projections expect deGrom to settle in near a 3.04 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP over 160 innings. His strikeout rate remains strong with 70 strikeouts in 58.5 innings, and his current 1.03 WHIP on the season aligns closely with his elite career baseline. Do not panic over his recent runs allowed, as our models suggest he will continue to be a front-line fantasy asset.
As a highly valuable two-start pitcher this week, deGrom faces the Cardinals on Monday and the first-place Guardians on Sunday. He matches up against Michael McGreevy on the road before returning home to face Joey Cantillo, both of whom present manageable matchups for our models. Lock deGrom into your lineups for the double-run volume as a premier starting option.

Outlook Joey Cantillo
Joey Cantillo offers a high-risk, high-reward two-start week for the division-leading Guardians.
The first-place Guardians have slipped recently, and Cantillo has struggled alongside them, posting an 18.00 ERA and 3.50 WHIP over his last two innings. Despite these recent control issues, including seven walks over his last 7.2 innings, he remains locked in as the number two starter in Cleveland's rotation.
While his 5.00 ERA over the last 14 days is discouraging, Cantillo’s 3.49 ERA over the last 30 days aligns perfectly with his strong 3.49 ERA from last season. Our models project a solid rest-of-season 3.91 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, suggesting his current walk rate is due for positive regression.
Cantillo is scheduled for a two-start week on the road, facing the Yankees on June 2nd and the Rangers on June 7th. He faces difficult counterparts in Cam Schlittler, who carries a 1.50 ERA, and Jacob deGrom, making this a highly dangerous run. Because of his current command issues, he is a Sit in weekly formats.
