Outlook Gerrit Cole
Gerrit Cole continues to anchor the Yankees rotation with dominant strikeout displays
Gerrit Cole has been exceptional over the last 30 days, racking up 39 strikeouts across 30.1 innings while maintaining a 2.99 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP. The second-place Yankees hold a 61-47 record in the AL East and continue to navigate injuries to rotation pieces like Carlos Rodón. Cole slots in as a reliable starter in the rotation, shaking off early-season health hurdles to perform like a true staff ace.
His recent stretch aligns closely with our season projection of a 3.44 ERA and 200 strikeouts, proving that his post-surgery performance is fully stabilized and sustainable rather than a temporary hot streak. With a career strikeouts-per-nine rate hovering near 10.0, his elite base-runner prevention and heavy strikeout volume remain foundational for fantasy rosters.
Cole highlights the week ahead as a two-start pitcher, lining up for appearances against the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs. He already handled the White Sox efficiently earlier in the week and will draw favorable matchups against opposing staffs carrying elevated ERAs and WHIPs. Fantasy managers should lock him into all active lineups for maximum volume and ratio stabilization. Start.

Outlook Gavin Williams
Gavin Williams delivers dominant strikeout performances heading into a two-start week
Gavin Williams has been electric on the mound lately, racking up 34 strikeouts over his last 14 days and throwing an immaculate inning against the Twins. The Guardians sit in second place in the AL Central with a 56-54 record, relying heavily on Williams anchoring the middle of the rotation alongside key contributors like Tanner Bibee and Joey Cantillo. With the team navigating minor bullpen injuries to players like Shawn Armstrong, Williams' durability and missing bats remain essential.
Williams is currently pacing well ahead of our season projection of 145 strikeouts, already sitting at 168 punchouts through 131.7 innings with a strong 3.76 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. His recent surge in strikeout rate over the past month demonstrates that his elite swing-and-miss ability is sustainable rather than a temporary fluke, aligning with his high-end skill set.
Williams gets set for a busy week featuring a pair of matchups, checking the box as a two-start pitcher. He lines up to face the Arizona Diamondbacks and starting pitcher Merrill Kelly, who holds a 4.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP, providing a favorable environment to rack up counting stats. Lock him into all fantasy lineups for this two-start turn. Start.
