Max Meyer has emerged as a standout performer for the Miami Marlins, showcasing dominance with a career-high 14 strikeouts in just six innings against the Cincinnati Reds. His impressive pitching is highlighted by a staggering 76% whiff rate on his slider, which has been a key weapon this season. Despite his talent, concerns linger regarding his innings limit and the Marlins' lack of offensive support, raising questions about his long-term viability in fantasy leagues.

Hunter Brown of the Houston Astros continues to impress, boasting five consecutive quality starts and a significant drop in his walk rate. His improved control and a high ground ball rate position him as a potential SP1 for fantasy managers. While he has yet to achieve a consistent strikeout rate, the changes in his pitch usage and velocity upgrades signal a positive trajectory for his performance this season.
