Outlook Dustin May
Dustin May finds his groove in the Cardinals' rotation as a high-strikeout asset
Dustin May has been spectacular over the last two weeks, racking up 18 strikeouts with a 2.95 ERA and a microscopic 0.74 WHIP across 12.2 innings. He is firmly established as a mid-rotation staple for the second-place Cardinals, who are cruising on a four-game win streak. May has fully moved past early-season bumps and looks highly comfortable in St. Louis.
This recent stretch is incredibly encouraging when compared to his overall 4.67 ERA on the season. Our models expect some regression toward a 4.21 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over the rest of the year, but his elite raw stuff means he can sustain high strikeout rates. Trust his talent, as his underlying command indicates this hot streak is largely genuine.
Looking ahead, May is set for a single-start week on June 9 against the Mets on the road, matching up against a tough starter in Freddy Peralta. Even in a difficult matchup, our projection expects a strong 7.2 innings of work with 6.7 strikeouts and a 2.79 ERA. He remains a must-insert option in your lineups. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Kai-Wei Teng
Kai-Wei Teng looks to get back on track after a challenging outing against Pittsburgh.
Teng has experienced some turbulence recently, posting a 6.30 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over his last 10 innings. He remains locked in as a mid-rotation staple for the fourth-place Astros (30-37), especially with key rotation pieces like Hunter Brown and Cristian Javier currently sidelined on the injured list.
While his overall season numbers are solid with a 3.26 ERA, our models project some regression toward a 4.50 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over the rest of the season. The primary concern is his control, as he has issued 21 walks in 44.2 innings this year, suggesting his recent WHIP spike could linger.
Teng is scheduled for a single road start on June 9 against the division-rival Angels. He matches up against Walbert Urena, who has been tough with a 2.68 ERA, but our projection expects a strong rebound for Teng with a 3.02 ERA and 0.92 WHIP for the week. Verdict: Stream.
