Notes
	In his first season in Philadelphia, Jesus Luzardo threw 183 2/3 innings, struck out 216 batters, and ended with a 3.92 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. His xERA was 3.34, and his FIP was an impressive 2.90. Lizardo's strikeout rate of 28.5% was in line with his two best seasons in Miami in 2022 and 2023, and even though we don't chase wins, his 15-7 record was a nice addition in fantasy. He cut his HR/9 to 0.78, the lowest of his career as a starter. Heading into his age-28 season, Luzardo profiles as a solid SP2 in fantasy. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Dylan Cease signed a seven-year, $210 million contract with the Blue Jays in November, parlaying his steady strikeout rate numbers and artificially inflated ERA in 2025 into security with the 2025 runners-up. In his age-29 season, Cease was snakebit by a .320 BABIP, ballooning his ERA to 4.55 with an xERA of 3.46. The important stat to know is his 29.8% K-rate and five consecutive years of 200+ strikeouts. If you can absorb a bit of a WHIP hit (career 1.26), the counting stats are there for the taking. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
