Jackson Jobe of the Detroit Tigers emerges as a must-add player, showcasing a clean 3.00 ERA with 9 strikeouts in 15 innings, despite some issues with walks. Andrew Abbott returns from injury, displaying potential strikeout prowess but is more suited for deeper leagues. Emilio Pagan has impressed as a closer for the Cincinnati Reds, while former Reds pitcher Tyler Mahle also garners attention for his strong start with the Texas Rangers. Trevor Story of the Boston Red Sox is turning back the clock with a solid batting average, contributing both speed and power.

Week three of the MLB season presents a plethora of opportunities for fantasy baseball enthusiasts, particularly with several two-start pitchers on the horizon. Among them, Freddy Peralta faces a challenging lineup with games at Colorado and against the Diamondbacks. While Peralta typically offers reliability, the altitude in Colorado could impact his performance. Justin Steele's matchups against the Rangers and Dodgers also raise concerns, although his strikeout potential keeps him in consideration for points leagues despite his early-season struggles.

Other notable mentions include José Berríos, a 'random number generator' whose inconsistency makes him a gamble against the Red Sox and Orioles, and Tanner Houck, who may only have one start in a week with seven games for the Red Sox. As waiver wire scouring continues, pitchers like Casey Mize and Hayden Wesneski are on the radar due to favorable matchups, increasing their streaming appeal.

Performance highlights from recent MLB games emphasize the impact of several pitchers and players as teams settle into the season. Nathan Eovaldi delivered a complete game shutout, showcasing his splitter effectively despite a dip in velocity. Eovaldi, known for inconsistency, may not maintain this ace-like form throughout the year, but his current effectiveness makes him a valuable fantasy asset. Shane Baz's return from Tommy John surgery has reignited interest, with a dominant performance underscoring his potential. Meanwhile, Casey Mize displayed signs of improvement, with increased velocity on his splitter, making him a player to watch. On the hitting side, Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki continued to demonstrate their power, each adding to their home run totals.

The podcast also discussed the murky closer situation in Pittsburgh after David Bednar's demotion, with options like Colin Holderman and Dennis Santana vying for the role. The overall takeaway stresses the importance of monitoring these early-season performances to gauge future fantasy expectations.
