Outlook Sean Manaea
Sean Manaea shows signs of stabilization, but a tough matchup limits his weekly appeal
Manaea has settled down recently, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over his last 12.0 innings. This is a big boost for the fifth-place Mets (29-36), who are navigating multiple rotation injuries. Currently slotting in as the number four starter in the rotation, Manaea's role is secure for now.
While his 3.12 ERA over the last 30 days is promising, regression is likely. Our models project Manaea for a 4.40 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 133.0 innings this season. This is much closer to his career baselines, suggesting fantasy managers should remain cautious.
Looking ahead, Manaea has one scheduled start on June 12 against division rival Atlanta. He faces a tough opponent in Spencer Strider, who holds a 4.00 ERA. Our weekly model projects Manaea for 4.1 innings with a 3.46 ERA, making him a risky option. Verdict: Sit.

Outlook Gage Jump
Top prospect Gage Jump dominates early, drawing a dream matchup against Colorado
Gage Jump has been sensational since his late-May promotion, posting a tiny 0.69 ERA and 0.76 WHIP over 13.1 innings in his last two starts. The Athletics, currently 31-34 and third in the AL West, have leaned heavily on the rookie southpaw with starting pitchers Luis Severino and Aaron Civale both sidelined with shoulder injuries. Jump has secured a firm grasp on a starting spot and is pitching like a true rotation staple.
While his early 2.49 career ERA across three big-league starts is incredibly impressive, some natural regression should be expected for the 23-year-old. Our models project a highly respectable 4.00 ERA and a stellar 1.10 WHIP alongside 120 strikeouts for the rest of the season. His premium velocity and deceptive fastball make this breakout look highly legitimate rather than a fluke, solidifying his status as a must-own ratio stabilizer.
Jump is scheduled for a single start this week on June 13th at home against the Rockies. He will square off against Kyle Freeland, who has struggled mightily to a 7.81 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP this year, making this an incredibly favorable matchup for the young lefty to secure another victory. With his current elite form and a weak opposing lineup on deck, he is an easy call for fantasy lineups this week. Start.
