Outlook Andre Pallante
Andre Pallante is pitching well of late, but a tough single-start matchup makes him a sit this week.
Andre Pallante has been in fine form, posting a 2.41 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP over his last two starts. He is currently locked in as a back-end starter in the rotation for the second-place Cardinals, who sport a 38-31 record. St. Louis has navigated some minor pitching injuries, but Pallante's rotation spot remains completely secure.
While his current 4.07 ERA is a big step up from last year's 5.56 mark, our models expect some regression. We project him for a 4.31 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP over the rest of the season. His low strikeout rate means he relies heavily on battedball luck, making his recent elite ratios difficult to sustain long term.
This week, Pallante is scheduled for just one start, coming Tuesday at home against the Padres. He faces Michael King, who holds a strong 3.35 ERA. Given the single-start volume and the tough matchup, fantasy managers should keep him on the bench. Verdict: Sit.

Outlook Shane Drohan
Elite plate discipline and steady run production make Bregman a safe corner-infidelity corner-stone.
Bregman enters the final year of his current contract in Houston, locking down the starting third base job and batting in the heart of a potent Astros lineup. At age 31, he remains in his prime as a disciplined, high-IQ hitter. His superb plate vision and walk-to-strikeout ratios afford him a rock-solid floor, making him a reliable presence in both fantasy lineups and a Houston offense that consistently ranks among the league's best.
Our models project another highly productive season for the veteran, expecting a batting average hovering around .265 alongside nearly 20 to 25 home runs, 80-plus runs, and 85-plus RBI. While his elite 30-homer seasons are likely in the rearview mirror, he continues to be a major asset in on-base percentage and runs scored. Bregman will not provide any value in the stolen bases department, but his high-volume counting stats more than compensate for the lack of speed.
In fantasy drafts, Bregman represents a premium, low-risk third-base option. While he lacks the elite, league-winning ceiling of younger, speedier options at the hot corner, his exceptionally high floor makes him a perfect target in the early-to-middle rounds. Draft him with confidence as a steady contributor who will stabilize your team's batting average, on-base percentage, and RBI totals.
