The Seattle Mariners are clawing back and forth with the Houston Astros for the top spot in the AL West, and they have been forced to rely almost entirely on their pitching staff to carry them. While the M’s have scored just 477 runs this year (the fourth-fewest in baseball), they currently lead baseball in both ERA (3.42) and WHIP (1.09) by a wide margin. Next up is the Philadelphia Phillies at 3.72 and 1.20, respectively.
Bryan Woo (who plays in 52% of ESPN leagues) has helped lower the Mariners’ team ratios, with a 2. 27 ERA and a 0. 88 WHIP in thirteen starts. What has held Woo back this year are injuries that have limited his rounds. He missed time in April and May with elbow and forearm problems, and a hamstring injury forced him to miss time in June and July.
The good news is that it seems that, despite everything, we are getting a glimpse of Woo in full power. Before August, Woo had only reached 80 spots once a year, and that was more than two months ago. However, in his last two starts, he has averaged 90 pitches, pitching in the seventh inning in either outing for the first time this season.
Now perfectly healthy, Woo has a chance to be a fantastic asset throughout the stretch, and that includes Wednesday’s road outing against the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers are bottom five in MLB in wRC (90) against right-hander. manual pitchers this season, adding a K% of 23. 9% that places them in the bottom 10. Launch Woo as a streaming option and give it a permanent spot on your list.
At this point in the season, it can be easy for a player to go unnoticed. Last March, the hype around Jackson Chourio was at its peak. However, a few months without interest, regardless, led to their percentage of the workforce falling below 50%. Fast forward to August, and the 20-year-old has been winning for several months, and much of the fantasy network hasn’t made it. Since June 1, Chourio has beaten Array318/. 365/. 513 with nine home runs and nine interceptions, emerging as the 18th most productive outfielder in the Player Rater. If we take into account just the last month, he’s the fantastic number nine outfielder and one of the top 20 most sensible hitters overall. There’s no explanation as to why it’s still available in 60% of ESPN leagues.
Tyler Anderson (39% of players) doesn’t rank very well in the scores below, however, I still like him as a streamer opposite to the Toronto Blue Jays. He has a 2. 87 ERA in his last six starts with an unexpected 10. 0K/9. He scored that streak, which includes two 10-strikeout performances. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays didn’t fare well against left-handed pitchers in 2024, ranking 24th in baseball with a wRC of 91.
Since returning from the disabled list in late July, Robbie Ray (42%) has been brilliant for the San Francisco Giants. His average fastball velocity (94. 2 mph) is at his highest point since 2021, and he has allowed two or fewer runs with over 7 K’s in 3 of his 4 starts. While a home game against the Atlanta Braves is a smart position for the veteran lefty, it’s worth noting that Atlanta’s offense has been below average on the road this season (95 wRC+), and Oracle Park is one of the top throwers. game positions.
David Peterson (7%) has a 3. 00 ERA in his last nine starts and is a decent option for the broadcast on Wednesday, but I like Oakland’s bats at this spot. The A’s offense has quietly been one of the most productive in baseball over the past month, with a wRC of 129 ranking fifth. Brent Rooker (87%) is already very reserved, but Shea Langeliers (16%), Zack Gelof (11%) and Miguel Andujar (5%) will get the credit here. Lawrence Butler (24%) may not get the infield credit, but he was the toughest hitter in the group, hitting Array 325/. 367/. 602 in the second half. Wednesday’s starting pitching rankings
