What Does This Mean for 2027? Player Commentary- September 27, 2026

The regular season ends today so the fantasy focus will shift to 2027. What can we look forward to? Here are some things to take into consideration. Blake Snell- P- LAD- FYI- Snell had his final tune up before the postseason. He threw 77 pitches (50 of them strikes) and allowed 1 runs on 5 hits while walking no one and striking out 3 in 4 IP. For the year Snell threw 42.2 IP, down from 61.1 in 2025. Sure he had a 1.90 ERA and 11.60 K/9 but he wasn't out there much. Since the Dodgers really care

Eury Gives Hope, Again - September 26, 2026

Eury Perez, SP, Marlins Eury Perez was masterful on Friday against the Braves, throwing a complete-game shutout. He only allowed one run and a walk over the nine scoreless innings, and he struck out eight. This was a huge bounceback after a series of rough outings, as the young pitcher had allowed 24 runs over his past 22.1 innings. He finishes the season with a 3.91 ERA and 1.20 WHIP, which is certainly disappointing for anyone who drafted him as a breakout candidate, but it's upside moments li

PCA Steals His Way to History-September 24, 2026

Paul Skenes-Pirates-SP Paul Skenes went 6.1 IP and gave up 1 ER on 3 H, 2 BB, and 8 K's against the Cardinals. The eight strikeouts pushed his season K rate to 28% and over 200 K's for the season. It was good to see him return to the dominant underlying profile we've seen from him in the past. His 3.82 ERA is still a bit higher than the 3.34 SIERA, and the 13% SwStr% shows the strikeout production is backed by legitimate bat-missing ability. The .292 BABIP and 70% LOB rate aren't particularly

Sale Reaches 200 K's - Sept. 24, 2026

Chris Sale, SP, ATL Sale closed out another dominant season with another dominant performance on Wednesday, as he struck out 10 in 5.2 IP against the Reds, allowing just 1 ER, to finish with exactly 200 K's for the season. He concludes the regular season with a spectacular 2.16 ERA, (2.82 xFIP) 0.98 WHIP, and 200:31 K:BB across 162.2 IP this season. He would likely be winning his 2nd Cy Young Award in 3 years, if it weren't for Jacob Misiorowski. The only real question mark for Sale going for

Elly Inches Closer to 30/30 While Abrams Keeps Improving - September 23, 2026

Elly De La Cruz, SS (CIN) De La Cruz hit a home run and stole a base on Tuesday, moving him ever closer to his first career 30/30 season. He's at 29/29 with five games to play. Some lower body injuries have diminished his speed and base-stealing abilities and have also cost him the at-bats necessary to accrue the counting stats. Nonetheless, fantasy owners have to appreciate the jump in batting average and the likelihood to post his third-straight 100-run season. He has truly emerged as the five

Stock Down: George Kirby - September 22, 2026

George Kirby (SP-SEA) is slated to start against the visiting Astros on Wednesday as he looks to finish a disappointing season strong. The 28 year-old RHP currently owns a career-high 4.24 ERA, career-worst 2.3 BB/9, career-low 7.6 K/9, and career-high 3.93 xFIP across 169.2 IP. Although Kirby gets hitters to chase (34%), their overall contact rate is healthy at 79% while they've posted a career-high 88% in-zone contact rate against him while their swinging-strike rate comes in at 11%, Kirby's l

The Wonders of Youth - September 21st, 2026

Spencer Jones (OF - NYY) - Jones homered again on Sunday (11)....and also struck out twice (97 and 98). The power/speed combo is indeed enticing, and there have been times this year where he actually looks like a legit major league hitter, but most of the time he simply cannot make the contact required. Swinging strike rates of 18%+ are just untenable, and Jones has been at that level since AA and it isn't getting better. He also doesn't even have the solid plate discipline that many contact-cha

NL Week 27 Strategy-September 19, 2026

In The Field OF Joshua Baez was placed on the 10-day IL on Friday with a left oblique strain, which ends his rookie season. He ended up hitting .230 with 7 HR, 18 R, 8 RBI, and 2 SB. The underlying skills point to the power being legit (54% FB, 12% Barrels, and 47% Hardhit), but contact is going to be an issue (31% K and 42% O-swing). 1B Spencer Steer has been ramping up activities by taking dry swings with the hopes of hitting off a machine next week. He is unlikely to make it back this seaso

Don't Discount J-Ram in 2027 - September 19, 2026

Jose Ramirez (3B-CLE) went 2-5 with a homer, 2 RBI, and a stolen base as the Guardians topped the Athletics on Friday night. In a season sidetracked by a broken hamate bone that sidelined him for over a month and has obviously sapped his power since he returned after the All-Star break, Ramirez has compiled a .232 average to go with 12 HR, 51 RBI, 65 R, and 34 SB (in 38 chances) across 511 PA. He's continued to command the dish well with an 11% walk rate against a 13% strikeout rate but his pop

Two Starters and Three Rookies-September 17, 2026

Kyle Harrison-Brewers-SP Kyle Harrison recorded just 1.2 innings while allowing 4 ER with 1 BB and 1 K, capping a frustrating season in which his 4.25 ERA and 1.34 WHIP have been paired with a promising 28% K rate and 21% K-BB%; the second-half numbers have been even rougher, with a 7.00 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across 27.0 IP, while his 25% K rate and 15% K-BB% show the strikeout ability is still there but the 3.33 HR/9 and .410 BABIP have made run prevention a major problem, leaving Harrison as an

His 2026 Went Better Than You Thought - September 17, 2026

Justin Foscue, 2B, Texas Rangers Foscue went 2-5 with R, 2B, RBI, K on three hard hit balls. Foscue is a bit of an incomplete player for fantasy purposes, but man is he a good hitter. Foscue bats near the top of a lineup that's mostly mediocre, and he has zero stolen bases in his big league career. Nonetheless, a .406 xwOBACON, 11% Barrel, 42% HH, and 24% Pull Air mean that this guy can not only get to 25 homers a year, but has a real shot at 30 and outside shot at 35.

Jesus Luzardo, Fantasy Ace - September 16, 2026

Jesus Luzardo (SP-PHI) was placed on the 15-day IL on Tuesday after initial reports indicated that he would be able to avoid a trip to the IL. But he's continued to experience inflammation in his left (throwing) shoulder and it's unclear whether he's expected to return from the IL on September 27th when first eligible. As things currently stand, 2026 was a career year for the 28 year-old southpaw as he owns a 2.87 ERA, 11.1 K/9, 2.6 BB/9, and 2.94 xFIP across 178.2 IP. The innings total is tied

PCA for MVP - September 15, 2026

Pete Crow-Armstrong, OF, Cubs Pete Crow-Armstrong continued his historic season on Monday, going 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, one run, and four RBI. The superstar is now slashing .281/.374/.571 with 112 runs, 42 home runs, 102 RBI, and 37 stolen bases. This is true five-category output in the best of ways, as he's an elite contributor in every single one. While his 26.2% strikeout rate still isn't the best and has led to long slumps at times, the talent ultimately wins out i

Hopkins Needs to Harness His Stuff

Brody Hopkins- P- TB- Rookie- Hopkins was called up by the Rays and will pitch out of the bullpen. He has been used as a reliever at AAA Durham since early last month. Hopkins is the Rays' top pitching prospect, although his eventual role isn't defined yet. He hits triple digits with his fastball but control is a big issue. Since Hopkins moved to the bullpen he has struck out 16 in 9 IP. He has also walked 5. While that is a high number of walks it is a vast improvement over his numbers while he

Josue De Paula, Future Fantasy Star? - September 10, 2026

Shohei Ohtani (DH/SP-LAD) will be placed on the 15-day IL as he recovers from nagging knee and biceps issues. It's currently unclear whether the team expects the 32 year-old back before the regular season wraps up as he'll be eligible to return on September 24. Plagued by various health issues since the All-Star break, Ohtani has posted a pedestrian - by his standards - .277 average to go with 30 HR, 80 RBI, 89 R, and 11 SB across 596 PA. Despite the reduced production, his 80.5% in-zone contact
