Rasmussen looks to bounce back against Miami after recent speed bump
Rasmussen has hit a minor speed bump lately, carrying an 11.25 ERA over his last 4.0 innings, though his 30-day window is more stable at a 4.16 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. He continues to lead the Tampa Bay rotation as the team's staff anchor. His performance will be critical for the first-place Rays, who are currently sitting on a three-game losing streak despite a strong 36-23 record.
While his recent numbers have inflated, our models project a strong rest-of-season turnaround, expecting a 3.29 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. This aligns with his career baseline, which includes a stellar 2.79 ERA and 1.03 WHIP from last season. The slight spike in his WHIP over the last 30 days looks like a minor fluke, making him a reliable ratio stabilizer.
Rasmussen is scheduled for a single start this week on June 5 against the Miami Marlins, facing Tyler Phillips who carries a 1.63 ERA. The Marlins present a highly favorable matchup for Rasmussen to bounce back and showcase his high strikeout upside. Fantasy managers should comfortably deploy him as a primary starter. Verdict: Start.
