Outlook Kyle Leahy
Kyle Leahy is lined up for a two-start week at home but carries notable ratio risks.
Kyle Leahy slots in as the number five starter for the second-place Cardinals (41-34). Over his last 30 days, Leahy has struggled with a 5.98 ERA and 1.62 WHIP, though he bounced back in his last outing with a seven-strikeout quality start. With St. Louis dealing with minor injuries to their bullpen, his starting rotation spot remains secure.
Leahy's overall 4.68 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 14 starts show that his recent struggles are part of a broader trend of allowing too much traffic. Our models expect some positive rest-of-season regression toward a 4.31 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. However, until he limits the hits allowed, he will remain a volatile fantasy option.
This week, Leahy is lined up for two home starts against Arizona and Miami. Tuesday's matchup against Arizona's Eduardo Rodriguez (2.45 ERA) is a tough test, but Sunday's game against Miami's Tyler Phillips presents a much softer landing spot. Because of the volume, he can be utilized as a deep-league stream if you can stomach the potential ratio damage. Verdict: Two-Start Stream.
