Outlook Michael Soroka
Soroka's desert resurgence continues with elite ratios and a highly favorable matchup
Michael Soroka has been a revelation for the third-place Diamondbacks, posting a stellar 2.66 ERA and 0.81 WHIP over his last 30 days. He has locked down a stable role in Arizona's starting rotation and is pitching his best ball in years, boasting a 2.70 ERA and 19 strikeouts over his last 20 innings.
While our rest-of-season models anticipate some regression toward a 4.19 ERA, Soroka's current 3.17 ERA and improved 1.09 WHIP look increasingly sustainable. He has drastically improved his control compared to his previous campaigns with Washington and Chicago, making him a highly reliable starting asset.
Soroka is scheduled for a single home start this Friday against the Twins. He draws a highly favorable matchup against Connor Prielipp, who has struggled to a 5.26 ERA, giving Soroka an excellent chance to build on his strong season. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Kevin Gausman
Gausman dominates on the mound as the undisputed anchor of the Toronto rotation.
Kevin Gausman is dealing, flashing a 1.29 ERA and 0.43 WHIP over his last seven innings, and a 2.81 ERA over his last 30 days. He anchors the rotation as Toronto's top starter, a role made critical with Jose Berrios and Shane Bieber sidelined on the 60-day injured list. The third-place Blue Jays (34-38) are fighting to stay in the postseason hunt.
Gausman's excellent stretch aligns with our rest-of-season projections, which forecast a 3.78 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. His elite 5.38 strikeout-to-walk ratio on the year proves his exceptional control is no fluke. Expect him to remain a highly reliable, high-strikeout fantasy asset.
This week, Gausman is scheduled for a single road start on June 19 against the Cubs. He faces a tough matchup in Chicago against Ben Brown, who boasts an elite 1.74 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. Despite the difficult opponent, Gausman's current form makes him an essential play. Verdict: Start.
