Outlook Gage Jump
Top pitching prospect Gage Jump is finding his groove in the Oakland rotation, making him an incredibly exciting fantasy option.
The rookie southpaw has taken the majors by storm, registering a sparkling 1.99 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over his last 18.1 innings. His hot streak is a major boost for the third-place Athletics, who currently sit at 35-36 in the standings. With Luis Severino and Aaron Civale sidelined with shoulder injuries, Jump has stepped up beautifully, securing his role as a key starter in the rotation.
Through his first four major league starts, Jump has compiled a 3.12 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. Our models project him to maintain a solid 4.00 ERA and an elite 1.10 WHIP over the rest of the season, accompanied by 95 strikeouts. While his current run-prevention rate will regress slightly, his excellent control and bat-missing ability make him a highly sustainable asset.
Jump is lined up for a single start on June 18 at home against the division-rival Angels and Jose Soriano, who carries a strong 2.79 ERA. While run support could be tough to come by in this matchup, Jump's elite ratios and high strikeout upside make him an incredibly strong option. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Martin Perez
Martín Pérez’s solid run continues as he prepares for a crucial two-start week with the Braves.
Martín Pérez has been a stabilizing force for the first-place Braves, who lead the division with a 46-25 record. Over his last 30 days, the veteran lefty has posted a reliable 3.76 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. With Spencer Strider sidelined, Pérez has solidified his active role as the number three starter in the rotation.
While Pérez's current 2.97 ERA and 1.07 WHIP are highly impressive, some regression is likely on the horizon. Our models project a rest-of-season 4.35 ERA and 1.36 WHIP, aligning closer to his career baselines. He remains a useful depth option, but expect some ratio inflation over the summer.
Pérez is lined up for a two-start week at home, starting June 18 against San Francisco's Landen Roupp and his 4.38 ERA. His second turn on June 19 is tougher against Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski and his 1.34 ERA. Despite the mixed matchups, the two-start volume makes him worth rolling out. Verdict: Two-Start Stream.
