Zack Littell's Recent Surge Makes Him an Intriguing Weekly Streamer
Zack Littell has been on a phenomenal run, posting a sparkling 2.00 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over his last 18.0 innings. This surge is a major boost for the third-place Nationals, who currently sit at 33-33 and are dealing with a depleted starting rotation due to injuries to Josiah Gray and Jake Irvin. These absences secure Littell's role as a vital mid-rotation starter for Washington.
While Littell's overall 4.83 season ERA and 1.32 WHIP are inflated by a rough April, his recent form mirrors his solid 2025 campaign where he logged a 3.94 ERA. Our models project a rest-of-season 4.55 ERA and 1.26 WHIP, but his outstanding control and recent 1.80 ERA over the last week suggest he has the potential to easily beat those conservative projections.
The Nationals head home to face Seattle later this week, scheduling Littell for a single start on Friday against Bryce Miller, who has been highly effective with a 1.33 ERA. Because of the challenging matchup and a single-start schedule, Littell is best utilized as a selective streaming option for managers chasing quality ratios. Verdict: Stream.
