Outlook Eduardo Rodriguez
Eduardo Rodriguez continues to defy expectations as he prepares for a favorable weekend matchup in Cincinnati.
The veteran southpaw has been stellar for the second-place Diamondbacks (34-31), anchoring the rotation as their steady number four starter. Over his last 30 days, Rodriguez has posted a superb 2.58 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across six starts. He remains a highly reliable active asset, especially with Arizona's rotation missing Corbin Burnes due to long-term injury.
While his current 2.55 season ERA looks pristine compared to his rough 5.28 ERA last season, our models expect some regression. Our data projects a 4.50 ERA and 1.40 WHIP rest of season, suggesting his modest strikeout rate (6.62 K/9) and historical traffic tendencies will eventually catch up to him.
Rodriguez is slated for a single start this week on June 12 on the road against Cincinnati. He draws a highly favorable matchup against Nick Lodolo, who enters with a bloated 5.51 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. Despite the hitter-friendly park, our projection expects him to deliver another solid outing. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Christian Scott
Christian Scott finds his groove in the rotation with stellar recent form
The 27-year-old right-hander has been outstanding recently, posting a stellar 0.88 ERA and 11 strikeouts over his last 10.2 innings. With rotation mate Kodai Senga sidelined with spine inflammation, Scott has locked down his role as the primary number two starter for the fifth-place Mets. Despite New York's overall team struggles, his steady presence has been a major bright spot.
While his 1.39 WHIP this season suggests some traffic on the basepaths, Scott's current 2.65 ERA is a massive improvement over his career 4.73 mark from 2024. His strikeout rate is hovering near a dominant 10.9 per nine innings, hinting that his high-strikeout upside is entirely real. Although our models project a 4.29 ERA rest-of-season, his post-Tommy John command makes him a highly sustainable asset.
This week, Scott is scheduled for a single home start on Wednesday against the Cardinals, facing Andre Pallante, who carries a mediocre 4.10 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. Given the favorable matchup and Scott's elite current form, fantasy managers should deploy him with confidence. Verdict: Start.
