Outlook Nolan McLean
Mets' Rookie Standout Nolan McLean Prepares for Favorable Weekend Start in San Diego
The fifth-place Mets (27-35) continue to rely on Nolan McLean, who currently slots in as the number three starter in the rotation with Kodai Senga on the injured list. While McLean has hit a rough patch over the last 30 days with a 6.16 ERA, he showed grit in his most recent outing, allowing just one earned run over five innings despite battling five walks.
Despite recent bumps that have pushed his season ERA to 4.31, his underlying metrics remain highly encouraging. McLean's elite sweeper and high-spin sinker continue to miss bats, supporting an excellent 10.71 K/9. Our projections expect a strong rest-of-season rebound, forecasting a 3.46 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP.
McLean is scheduled for a single remaining start this week on June 6th on the road against the Padres. He will draw a highly favorable matchup against Griffin Canning, who has struggled to a 7.16 ERA and 1.55 WHIP, making this an ideal spot to stream or start the rookie. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Eduardo Rodriguez
Eduardo Rodriguez Dominates as a Premier Two-Start Option
Eduardo Rodriguez is on a sensational run, posting a spectacular 1.61 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over his last 39.2 innings. The third-place Diamondbacks are holding a 32-29 record, and Rodriguez has locked down his spot as a reliable mid-rotation starter for Arizona with Corbin Burnes on the shelf.
This current stretch represents a massive leap forward compared to his 5.28 ERA from 2025. While our models anticipate eventual regression toward a 4.50 ERA and 1.40 WHIP rest of season, his excellent 1.00 WHIP over the last 14 days proves his current command is real enough to ride while he is hot.
Rodriguez is a two-start pitcher this week, having already secured a win against the Dodgers on June 1. His final matchup comes on June 6 at home against Washington, where he faces Zack Littell, who enters with a vulnerable 5.01 ERA. Start him with complete confidence.
