Notes
	Everyone seems to be forgetting the Rays are moving back into their spacious, pitcher-friendly ballpark in 2026 and ranking Drew Rasmussen way too low. He gave up more than 1.0 HR/9 for the first time in his career, but allowed twice as many at home in George Steinbrenner Field, which he won't have to deal with this season. His strikeout rate is middle of the road at 21.7%, but his walk rate is an impressive 6.3%, offering a WHIP below 1.10 every year of his career. He started 31 games last season, and even though his xERA (3.43) was higher than his actual (2.76), his ERA and FIP numbers from the previous two years, when he got to pitch at Tropicana Field, were stellar. It's worth it to target all of the Rays pitchers, but Rasmussen leads the way and would make a solid SP3 or SP4 on any fantasy pitching staff. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	The only thing preventing Rasmussen from entering the top 15 starter realm is the start-to-start load management, which is not projected to change. However, you'll get consistently good starts and great ratios, although the lack of innings pitched will cap his upside. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
