Outlook Gage Jump
Top prospect Gage Jump shines in the Athletics rotation, making him a prime streaming target for his upcoming home start.
The third-place Athletics are currently on a two-game winning streak and have found a rotation savior in top pitching prospect Gage Jump. With starters Luis Severino and Aaron Civale sidelined, Jump has stepped up in the rotation, posting a stellar 0.69 ERA and 0.76 WHIP over his last 14 days.
While Jump's current 2.49 career ERA through his first three major-league starts is spectacular, our models project a 4.00 ERA and 1.10 WHIP rest-of-season. Still, his elite minor league strikeout pedigree suggests he can beat those expectations and hold down his starting spot.
With the week underway, Jump's lone remaining start comes on June 12 at home against Colorado. Our weekly projection slots him for a 1.87 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 6.2 innings, making him a fantastic fantasy option. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Joe Ryan
Joe Ryan's Elite Control and Dominant Form Make Him a Must-Start
Locked in as the number-one starter for the third-place Twins (31-38), Joe Ryan has been outstanding. Over his last 30 days, he has pitched to a sparkling 2.60 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with 39 strikeouts in 31.2 innings. Despite a brief health scare in May, his MRI was clear, and he is fully healthy and dominating.
Ryan's recent underlying metrics are even stronger than our rest-of-season projection of a 3.79 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. He has yielded just three walks in his last 31.2 frames, showcasing elite command. While his career 3.70 ERA suggests some minor regression is possible, his high-strikeout floor makes this elite run highly sustainable.
With the week already underway, Ryan is scheduled for a single home start on June 12th against the Cardinals. He draws a highly favorable matchup against Kyle Leahy, who struggles with a 4.42 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. Given Ryan's elite form and the weak opposing matchup, he is a locked-in option. Verdict: Start.
