Nolan McLean | Fantasy Outlook

Nolan McLean looks to stabilize ratios in a favorable road matchup against Cincinnati.

The fifth-place Mets (32-39) continue to lean on McLean, who slots in as the third starter in their injury-depleted rotation. The rookie has battled control lately, posting a 6.57 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over his last 30 days, though his most recent two starts showed improvement with a 2.70 ERA over 10.0 innings. With rotation mates like Kodai Senga still on the injured list, McLean's volume remains highly secure.

Under the hood, our models expect McLean to trend back toward his strong season projection of a 3.46 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. His high-strikeout upside is very real, as evidenced by his 88 strikeouts in 74.7 innings this year and his elite pitch movement. While the walks (31 on the year) are a concern, his underlying metrics suggest his recent rough stretch is more of a minor speed bump than a major regression.

McLean is scheduled for one start this week, hitting the road on June 17 to face the Reds. Cincinnati's projected starter, Nick Lodolo, has struggled to a 5.21 ERA, offering a soft landing spot for the young right-hander. Our models project McLean for 5.1 innings and 5.6 strikeouts in this outing, making him a strong fantasy option. Start him with confidence.
