Hogan Harris Lock in Late-Inning Value for Rising Athletics
Hogan Harris has been highly effective lately, registering a solid 3.21 ERA with nine strikeouts over his last 5.6 innings of work. He currently slots in as the primary closing option for the third-place Athletics, who are holding a 33-35 record in the AL West and riding a two-game win streak. With multiple arms rotating in late-inning situations, his grip on high-leverage roles remains firm.
Under the hood, his 13.27 K/9 on the season showcases elite strikeout upside, yet his 1.99 WHIP represents a major walk risk that could derail his ratios. Our models project a 4.43 ERA and 1.40 WHIP rest-of-season. While some regression is expected, his current form and secure late-inning share make him a reliable source of holds and saves.
Looking ahead, the Athletics finish their weekly schedule with three home matchups against a struggling Colorado team. These matchups are highly favorable, particularly against Colorado's high-ERA starters like Kyle Freeland, which should present ample late-inning opportunities. Harris is a recommended active option for fantasy managers needing holds and strikeout volume. Start.

Outlook Erik Miller
Erik Miller navigates shaky ratios while holding down a high-leverage late-inning role for the Giants.
Erik Miller has stepped into a vital late-inning role for the fourth-place Giants (28-41), especially with fellow reliever Matt Gage currently sidelined on the injured list. However, Miller has struggled with extreme control issues since returning from his own back injury, posting a 7.50 ERA and a bloated 5.83 WHIP over his last three appearances. Despite the frequent traffic on the bases, he remains one of the primary high-leverage options in the San Francisco bullpen.
His current struggles are a stark contrast to his underlying talent, as our models project a much stronger 3.66 ERA for the rest of the season. Miller's elite strikeout stuff is still very real, but his career 1.45 WHIP indicates that ratio volatility is a persistent risk. If he can reign in the free passes, his hold and occasional save opportunities will make him a highly valuable asset in deeper formats.
Looking at the remaining games this week, the Giants host the Cubs, where Miller will have to navigate tough hitters but could face favorable matchups against high-ERA pitchers like Colin Rea. Our weekly projection expects him to secure a hold while striking out nearly a batter per inning, though his immediate WHIP projection remains risky. For this week, Miller is a Sit in standard leagues but remains a firm Hold in formats that reward holds.
