Outlook Robbie Ray
Robbie Ray Reclaiming Elite Status Amidst Dominant Scoreless Streak
Ray is in the midst of a spectacular run, punctuated by an eight-inning scoreless gem on Tuesday where he allowed just two hits. Over his last two outings, he has tossed 14.1 innings without allowing an earned run, and our data shows him thriving as the clear number two starter in the rotation. Despite the 33-47 Giants sitting 18.5 games back in the division, Ray's performance is making him a hot commodity in trade rumors.
His 2.43 ERA over the last 30 days is a significant improvement over his 4.10 season mark and aligns more closely with his strong 2025 campaign. While 11 walks over his last 22.2 innings suggest some efficiency risk, his career-long ability to maintain high strikeout volumes makes this recent surge look sustainable. Our models suggest he is returning to the high-strikeout form that defined his 2021 peak.
As a two-start pitcher this week, Ray has already delivered one masterpiece and faces a marquee matchup on Sunday at Oracle Park against the Braves. He is scheduled to duel Chris Sale, who carries an elite 2.14 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. Despite facing one of the league's most difficult opposing pitchers, Ray's current momentum and strikeout upside make him a mandatory fantasy option. Start.

Outlook Brandon Young
Brandon Young has transformed into a reliable rotation anchor for the Orioles, posting a stellar 2.67 ERA over his last five starts.
Young has emerged as a crucial stabilizer for an Orioles rotation recently hampered by injuries to Chris Bassitt and Zach Eflin. Over his last 30 days, he has secured four quality starts with a 1.12 WHIP, most recently holding the Dodgers to just one run over five innings of work. Although Baltimore currently sits in fourth place in the AL East with a 38-44 record and is navigating a two-game losing streak, Young has given the club a chance to win in nearly every appearance.
This 2026 breakout is a massive leap forward from his 6.45 ERA last season, and the underlying improvements support his continued growth. Our data highlights a notable uptick in fastball velocity, with Young consistently hitting 95-96 mph to blow heat past elite hitters like Freddie Freeman. While his seasonal 1.32 WHIP suggests he still works around some traffic, his ability to limit damage is exceptional, having surrendered three or fewer earned runs in 11 of his 12 starts this year.
Looking ahead, Young is set for a home start on June 27 against the Nationals. He faces a tough counterpart in Foster Griffin, who enters with a 3.15 ERA and a low 1.06 WHIP, but the Orioles' right-hander has more than enough momentum to handle the challenge. With our projections eyeing nearly seven innings of work and a sub-3.00 ERA for the remaining matchup this week, he is a clear fantasy asset. Start.
