Outlook Jacob Misiorowski
Jacob Misiorowski cements status as fantasy's premier ace with historic dominance
Misiorowski has been nearly untouchable over the last 30 days, posting a microscopic 0.96 ERA and a 0.71 WHIP with 38 strikeouts in 28.0 innings. As the staff anchor for the first-place Brewers (53-31), who are currently riding a three-game winning streak, he has reached legendary status with an electric fastball that recently clocked as high as 105.5 mph. He remains the clear staff leader in Milwaukee's rotation, and despite the team building in occasional extra rest to manage his workload, he has solidified his place as the National League Cy Young frontrunner.
His current 1.46 season ERA and 0.77 WHIP are vastly superior to our original projections of a 4.01 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. While a 13.37 K/9 rate confirms his swing-and-miss stuff is truly elite, such extreme ratios typically invite regression toward career baselines over a full season. However, his recent four-start home stretch matches historic feats not seen since Nolan Ryan in 1972, suggesting that his current performance is a legitimate breakout rather than a temporary hot streak, making him a sustainable top-tier fantasy asset.
The week ahead features a marquee matchup today at home against the Reds and fellow ace Chase Burns, who counters with a strong 2.36 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. While facing Burns is a difficult matchup, Misiorowski is a mandatory play, as our models project over eight strikeouts and a 1.36 ERA for the outing. With the Brewers managing his starts carefully before the break to prioritize health over All-Star Game eligibility, fantasy managers should continue to ride this historic wave of production. Start.

Outlook Dustin May
Dustin May looks to rebound after a brief rotation break with an updated pitch arsenal
May has been electric over the last month, posting a 3.65 ERA with 26 strikeouts across 22.2 innings. While he recently took a short break from the mound to refine his mechanics, he remains the number three starter for a third-place Cardinals squad that currently sits at 44-39. Recent reports indicate he used his time away to rework his arm path and expand his pitch mix, adding a new dimension to his high-velocity profile as the team enters a pivotal stretch of the season.
Under the hood, May is significantly outperforming his 4.36 season ERA and 1.21 WHIP over his recent stretch, showing much higher strikeout upside than our season-long models originally anticipated. While his career has been marked by inconsistency following major injuries, the efficiency shown in his mid-June shutout of San Diego suggests that his recent adjustments are legitimate. The increased whiff rate provides a safer fantasy floor than his previous pitch-to-contact approaches, making him a more reliable asset.
May returns to the hill for a high-stakes road matchup on July 2 against the Braves. He will duel Hurston Waldrep, a talented young arm who has been efficient in very limited action this year. While the Braves represent a difficult road matchup, our projection expects May to provide a deep seven-inning outing with solid strikeout production. Given the reported improvements to his arsenal and his dominance prior to the brief rest, he is a recommended option for your rotation this week. Start.
