Outlook Trevor Megill
High-leverage setup man Trevor Megill offers excellent hold and strikeout potential for the first-place Brewers.
Trevor Megill has been highly effective over the last 30 days, recording a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and 14 strikeouts across 10 innings of work. The first-place Brewers, currently sitting at 40-23 in the NL Central, have relied on him heavily as their primary setup option. With Milwaukee's bullpen currently missing several arms like DL Hall and Jared Koenig due to injuries, Megill's high-leverage role in front of closer Abner Uribe is fully secure.
While Megill's season-to-date 4.70 ERA looks unappealing, his excellent 1.13 WHIP and 11.35 K/9 rate tell a more promising story. Our models project him to settle in around a much sharper 3.38 ERA and 1.17 WHIP for the rest of the season. His dominant velocity and outstanding strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest his recent hot streak is highly sustainable rather than a fluke.
This week, the Brewers play six games, split between a road series against the Athletics and a home set against the Phillies. Facing struggling opposing pitchers like Jack Perkins and Andrew Painter should yield late-inning leads for the Brewers' bullpen. Our weekly projections expect Megill to log 3.2 innings with a tidy 1.96 ERA and over three strikeouts, making him an excellent weekly Start in holds leagues and a high-leverage ratio stabilizer in deeper standard formats.

Outlook Emmet Sheehan
Emmet Sheehan looks to rebound in Chicago after a shortened outing, retaining vital rotation security for the first-place Dodgers.
The first-place Dodgers (42-24) are leaning heavily on Emmet Sheehan as a solid mid-rotation staple. Despite getting knocked out after just 1.1 innings in his last start, he has pitched well lately, posting a 4.09 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over his last 14 days. With rotation mates Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell on the injured list, Sheehan's starting role is completely secure.
While Sheehan's current 4.89 ERA on the year is disappointing compared to his 3.46 mark in 2025, his underlying numbers are encouraging. Our season projection expects him to settle in with a 3.86 ERA and 1.14 WHIP, supported by his strong 1.03 WHIP over the past month. Expect his overall ratios to steadily improve as he finds more consistency.
Looking ahead, Sheehan is scheduled for a single road start on June 14th against the White Sox. He faces Erick Fedde, who has struggled with a 4.94 ERA and 1.41 WHIP this season, making this a highly favorable matchup. Fire up the Dodgers right-hander in all formats this week. Verdict: Start.
