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.

Includes Detailed Projections

Outlook Foster Griffin

Foster Griffin looks to maintain solid form in a favorable road matchup against the Diamondbacks.

Foster Griffin has been a stabilizer for the Nationals, posting a sharp 2.45 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 11 strikeouts over his last 14 days. This strong run is crucial for a Washington squad currently sitting third in the NL East with a 31-32 record and dealing with rotation injuries to Josiah Gray and Jake Irvin. Griffin is locked in as a mid-rotation staple in the third slot of the starting rotation.

While Griffin's 30-day ERA sits at an elevated 5.98, his overall return to the majors has been a success, highlighted by a 3.80 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 12 starts. This mark is significantly better than his projected rest-of-season ERA of 4.17, suggesting that his recent 14-day resurgence is closer to his true talent level than his mid-May struggles.

Looking at the remainder of the week, Griffin has one scheduled outing on Friday, June 5th, on the road against Arizona. He will match up against Merrill Kelly, who has struggled with a 5.06 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. Given this favorable matchup against a vulnerable opposing pitcher, fantasy managers should confidently deploy Griffin. Verdict: Start.
