Outlook Jacob Misiorowski
Historic Velocity King Dominating the League as Brewers' Staff Anchor
Jacob Misiorowski is putting together an historic stretch, posting a mind-boggling 0.26 ERA and 0.62 WHIP with 46 strikeouts over his last 34 innings. Backed by the first-place Brewers, who lead the NL Central at 40-23 and are riding a three-game winning streak, the 24-year-old has firmly established himself as the staff anchor in Milwaukee's rotation. Healthy and firing high-octane gas on more than half of his pitches, he is currently the most dominant arm in fantasy baseball.
While his current 1.51 ERA and 0.82 WHIP on the season are far superior to our conservative models' rest-of-season projection of a 4.01 ERA and 1.25 WHIP, his elite 13.51 K/9 rate proves his breakout is completely genuine. Some regression toward his 2025 career mark of a 1.21 WHIP is to be expected as the summer heats up, but his unmatched ability to miss bats limits any serious damage. Expect him to easily surpass his projected 10 wins while remaining a premier source of strikeouts.
Misiorowski is scheduled for a single home start on June 12th against the Phillies, squaring off against Andrew Painter, who has struggled with a 6.21 ERA and 1.57 WHIP this year. Given the highly favorable matchup against a vulnerable opposing pitcher and his own lights-out form, he is an elite option for the week ahead. Lock him in as a confident Start.

Outlook Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Yamamoto has established himself as a true fantasy ace
Yamamoto enters the campaign with his role as the undisputed top starter in Los Angeles fully secured. At age 27, he is entering his physical prime and carries immense rotation stability. After a phenomenal 2025 season in which he posted a 2.26 ERA and 0.97 WHIP over 206.8 innings, the Dodgers will lean on him heavily as their staff anchor, especially given the various injury uncertainties surrounding other arms in their rotation.
Our models expect another elite output, projecting Yamamoto for a 3.00 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP over 159.0 innings, alongside 205 strikeouts and 14 wins. Yamamoto is a premium ratio stabilizer with high-strikeout upside, historically averaging over ten strikeouts per nine innings. His exceptional command helps him limit base runners, and playing for the powerhouse Dodgers ensures he will remain one of the most reliable sources of wins in the league.
Fantasy managers should treat Yamamoto as a top-tier fantasy ace. His early-second-round ADP of approximately 17 reflects his status as a safe floor play with a Cy Young caliber ceiling. While workload management is always a small consideration for front-line starters, his durability and elite efficiency make him a high-end target who can single-handedly anchor a fantasy pitching staff.
