He has allowed 18 runs across 28.1 innings over five May starts and lines up for a road start against St. Louis early next week.

Notes
	From 2021 through 2024, Jacob deGrom threw a total of 196 innings, so you can forgive all fantasy managers everywhere for not foreseeing the 172 2/3 innings that arrived in 2025. The 37-year-old started 30 games for the Rangers, ending the year with a 2.97 ERA and his calling card of a 0.92 WHIP, while striking out 185 batters. His strikeout rate was down to 27.7%, which is still pretty elite, but the lowest it had been since 2016. He also got lucky with an opposing batter BABIP of .230, which suppressed his ERA by about 40 points. His FIP was also the highest of his career at 3.64. Look, projecting Jacob deGrom at this point seems like a fool's errand because it is all about health. If he throws another 160+ innings, he'll probably be worth his fourth-round price tag, but I wouldn't bet on that happening. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Michael King's transition to a full-time starter in San Diego paid off in 2024, but 2025 brought some mild regression and missed time. After logging 173 2/3 innings with a 2.95 ERA and 27.7% strikeout rate in 2024, he threw just 73.1 innings in 2025 with his strikeout rate dipping to 24.7% and his HR/9 jumping from 0.9 to 1.5. Projections expect a rebound in workload and a return to mid-3.00s ratios, which aligns more closely with his 2024 form than last year's abbreviated campaign. King still misses bats at an above-average clip and limits batting average against (.225 career), but his margin for error narrows when the home run rate spikes. He profiles as a high-end SP3 with SP2 upside if the strikeouts tick back toward the 27-28% range and he pushes past 160 innings again. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	I bow down to one of the great pitchers of this millennium. But he just turned 38, and has only started more than 15 games once in the past 6 years (last year). And while the 2.97 ERA looks great, he was greatly aided by a .230 BABIP. His (more than respectable) 3.64 FIP is more indicative of the pitcher he was last year, and will be in his age 38 season, making him a pass for me at his current ADP.
