Outlook Cal Quantrill
Cal Quantrill continues dominant late-season surge heading into Seattle matchup
Quantrill has been virtually untouchable over the last month, logging a 1.13 ERA and 0.78 WHIP across 32.0 innings in his last 30 days, highlighted by seven shutout frames his last time out. With Nathan Eovaldi sidelined on the injured list, he has solidified his place as a dependable mid-rotation starter for a second-place Texas club (71-73) staying competitive in the AL West.
His sparkling 2.85 ERA across 94.8 innings has thoroughly outperformed our preseason 5.28 projection, heavily fueled by pinpoint control that has yielded just two walks across his past 13 innings. While his modest strikeout numbers suggest some regression toward career baselines is inevitable, his ability to generate soft contact keeps this hot stretch reliable down the stretch.
Quantrill takes the mound for a single outing on Wednesday in Seattle, drawing an advantageous matchup against Kade Anderson and his 5.40 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. Our models project another sharp performance allowing just 1.4 earned runs over 5.2 frames, giving him strong win potential and ratio stability. Start.

Outlook Jared Jones
Jared Jones recaptures dominant swing-and-miss form ahead of a pivotal road start in Chicago
Jones has bounced back impressively on the mound, generating a 2.65 ERA and 15 strikeouts over 10.2 innings in his last two starts, capped by six scoreless frames with nine punchouts. Operating as a dependable starter in Pittsburgh's rotation, Jones holds key rotation responsibilities for a 71-73 Pirates squad on a one-game win streak, especially with veteran Mitch Keller sidelined on the 60-day injured list.
While a bumpy August yielded a 5.68 ERA across his last 30 days, his underlying metrics and devastating miss-rate of over 13.0 K/9 in his last 14 days align closely with our projected 4.05 ERA and 1.23 WHIP baseline. The power repertoire that touched triple digits earlier this summer is back in peak form, confirming his recent resurgence is sustainable rather than a temporary fluke.
Looking at the schedule ahead, Jones is lined up for a single start on Thursday on the road against the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox. Even facing an offense atop their division, Jones' high strikeout floor provides tremendous upside in standard category and points leagues as fantasy playoffs heat up. Start.
