Outlook Luke Weaver
Luke Weaver dominant in setup role with 23 consecutive scoreless innings
Luke Weaver has been phenomenal for a fifth-place Mets squad that currently sits at 36-51, providing a rare bright spot in the bullpen. Over his last 14 days, he has posted a perfect 0.00 ERA and a minuscule 0.20 WHIP while striking out nine batters in five innings of work. According to the team depth chart, he is firmly entrenched as the primary setup man, a role he has excelled in throughout his recent 23-inning scoreless streak.
Our data indicates Weaver is currently over-performing his season projections of a 4.04 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, but his actual 2.12 ERA and 0.86 WHIP across 33.9 innings suggest this career revitalization is more than just a fluke. With a strong 10.35 K/9 and elite command reflected in his 4.33 strikeout-to-walk ratio, he has transitioned from a rotation depth piece into a reliable high-leverage weapon. While some ERA regression is likely, his increased strikeout rate makes him a sustainable asset in leagues that value holds.
The Mets wrap up their road trip with a three-game set against the first-place Braves in Atlanta. Weaver will likely see action in high-leverage spots, though the matchups are difficult as Atlanta's scheduled starters, including Chris Sale and his elite 2.10 ERA, should keep games close. Despite the tough divisional opponents and the Mets' recent struggles, Weaver’s current untouchable form makes him a mandatory start in formats that reward holds and relief ratios. Start.

Outlook Dylan Lee
Dylan Lee is the most dominant high-leverage arm in the Braves' first-place bullpen
Lee was recently named Pitcher of the Month after a flawless stretch where he posted a 0.00 ERA and a 0.64 WHIP over the last 14 days. The first-place Braves, currently 50-34, have leaned heavily on him as their primary setup man, especially with Robert Suarez on the injured list. He is currently pitching at an elite level, surrendering only one hit across his last three appearances.
His current 1.09 ERA and 0.69 WHIP through 33.1 innings are significantly better than our models' initial season projection of a 3.55 ERA. While a sub-2.00 ERA is difficult to maintain over a full season, his career-high 12.5 K/9 and incredible 9.20 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest his dominance is backed by elite command. He has evolved from a depth option into a core fantasy asset for holds and ratios.
The Braves conclude the week with four home games against the Cardinals and Mets. Our data projects Lee to see roughly three innings of work, likely generating two holds and nearly five strikeouts during this stretch. Facing a Mets team that sits 15.5 games back in the division, the Braves should provide plenty of late-inning leads for Lee to protect. Start.
