Outlook Dylan Lee
Dylan Lee Dominating in High-Leverage Setup Role for First-Place Braves
Dylan Lee has been virtually untouchable lately, posting a 1.48 ERA and an elite 0.66 WHIP with nine strikeouts over his last 6.1 innings. He is pitching in high-leverage spots for the first-place Braves, who lead the NL East with a 45-21 record and are currently riding a three-game winning streak. With Joe Jimenez on the injured list, Lee has locked down his role as Atlanta's premier setup option.
This sensational run is no fluke, as Lee has dominated all year to the tune of a 1.28 ERA, a 0.68 WHIP, and an elite 12.17 K/9 rate over 28.1 innings. While our models project a moderate rest-of-season regression toward a 3.55 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, his current command and high-strikeout upside make him far more valuable than his career baselines suggest.
Atlanta travels for six games this week against the White Sox and Mets. Our weekly model projects Lee to throw three innings with 3.2 strikeouts and 1.4 holds. He remains a top-tier late-inning weapon who should see plenty of close-game opportunities. Start him with confidence in all holds and ratios-focused formats.

Jose Soriano Seeks to Reclaim Command in Matchup Against Tampa Bay
The Angels' staff anchor has hit a rough patch, posting a 5.33 ERA and an alarming 2.04 WHIP with 13 walks over his last 15.2 innings. This slump comes as the last-place Angels, sporting a 25-41 record, struggle to stay afloat in the AL West divisional standings amidst injuries to key bats like Jorge Soler. Despite his recent control issues, he remains locked in as the top starter in the rotation.
While his historic April was incredibly exciting, Soriano's recent struggles are a regression toward his projected season baseline of a 3.83 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. His high-90s velocity still generates plenty of swing-and-miss, but his career-long walk issues have resurfaced. Fantasy managers should expect a solid mid-rotation contributor rather than an elite ace moving forward.
Soriano is scheduled for a single home start on June 13 against the Rays, matching up against Griffin Jax, who enters with a 4.17 ERA and a high 1.47 WHIP. Given the favorable opponent pitching matchup and Soriano's high strikeout upside, he remains a viable option this week despite the high walk risk. Verdict: Start.
