Dustin May battles severe ratio turbulence ahead of weekend start against Cincinnati
May has endured a turbulent stretch, posting a bloated 7.68 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over his last 30 days for the first-place Brewers, who are riding a three-game win streak. After escaping structural damage from a 106-mph comebacker in late August, he was hit hard again versus Texas and bluntly voiced frustration with his execution. He remains locked into Milwaukee's rotation as a reliable rotation staple, but recent command issues have severely compromised his immediate reliability.
This brutal slump is a steep decline from our season projection of a 4.21 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across 139 innings. While May flashed dominant upside earlier in the year, fatigue and recurring traffic trouble are catching up to him following his heaviest workload in years. His strikeout ability remains intact, but elevated contact rates suggest positive regression will not arrive until he recaptures the strike zone.
May makes one remaining start this week on Saturday at home against Cincinnati, squaring off against Brady Singer. While the matchup looks decent on paper, our weekly models project an abbreviated outing with an ERA north of 6.00 and high WHIP risk. Given his current tailspin, keep him benched in all competitive formats. Sit.

Outlook Anthony Molina
Anthony Molina thrives in surprise rotation role heading into weekend clash with Padres
Since being called up to bolster an injury-depleted San Francisco pitching staff, Molina has impressed, posting a 2.70 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, and 12 strikeouts over 10 innings across his last two starts. Operating as a converted long reliever stepping into the rotation, the right-hander has provided a spark for a fourth-place Giants club currently riding a three-game winning streak.
While his early brilliance in orange and black is encouraging, our models urge caution against assuming this dominance is permanent. Molina carried a bloated 7.47 career ERA across his previous two campaigns, and our projections anticipated a 4.71 ERA and 1.43 WHIP, indicating that heavy regression toward his contact-heavy baseline looms once big-league hitters adjust.
Looking ahead at the remainder of the week, Molina is slated for a home start Friday against San Diego. Squaring off against southpaw Robbie Ray and a dangerous Padres lineup represents a notable test, but Molina's recent form makes him a viable target for fantasy managers chasing strikeouts and wins.
