Nathan Eovaldi Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More Than 15.5 Pitching Outs
Today's sleeper discount features Nathan Eovaldi with his pitching outs projection being reduced from 18.5 to 15.5 outs.
Eovaldi is coming off of a complete game shutout in his last start against the Cincinnati Reds and he went six innings against the Boston Red Sox in his opening day outing.
The weather in Chicago is going to be cold and a tough one for hitters but a great spot for starting pitchers, especially one of Eovaldi's caliber.
Kodai Senga Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More Than 6.5 Strikeouts
Kodai Senga is a strikeout machine, posting an elite 10.9 K/9 in his rookie season, and in his first start of 2025 against this very Miami Marlins squad, he racked up eight strikeouts over five innings. The Marlins are fanning at a 25% clip this year, with that number jumping to nearly 28% against right-handed pitchers like Senga. This matchup lines up perfectly to target Senga’s strikeout projection on Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick’em—don’t miss out on this prime opportunity!

Player News
Cubs re-signed RHP Caleb Kilian to a minor league contract.
The 27-year-old hurler was released last weekend after being designated for assignment, but after exploring the open market he has decided that a reunion with the Cubs made the most sense. Kilian will continue to function as extra rotation depth at Triple-A Iowa for the time being.
Corey Seager went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk to help the Rangers take down the Angels 5-3 on Thursday.
Seager had a bad first week and a half while dealing with a calf strain, but he’s collected 14 hits, including three homers, in his last eight games, putting him at .306/.368/.516 overall. Alas, it’s produced just six RBI, mostly because the Rangers are getting terrible production from the ninth and first spots in the order.
Kumar Rocker recorded his first MLB victory after pitching seven innings of three-run ball and striking out eight Thursday against the Angels.
Rocker walked none and surrendered just one double and four singles. Unfortunately, all five hits came in the first and fifth innings, resulting in three runs between them. Still, Rocker was terrific in needing just 78 pitches to get 21 outs. It’s the kind of performance that suggests he might offer mixed-league value at some point. We just wouldn’t trust him quite yet. His next start will come in Sacramento against the A’s.
Robert Garcia picked up his first save of the year with a perfect ninth against the Angels on Thursday.
Garcia got the call tonight with Luke Jackson having pitched the previous two days and retired the Angels on five pitches. Even though he’s the better reliever of the two, he’ll likely resume taking a backseat to Jackson on Friday.
Jack Kochanowicz gave up four runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings against the Rangers on Thursday.
The surprising and misguided decision to pick Kochanowicz over Reid Detmers for a rotation spot at the end of the spring isn’t working out for the Angels. The team might reverse course soon, but Detmers hasn’t been used as a long guy and isn’t stretched out to start right away. Kochanowicz is now 1-2 with a 6.20 ERA, but at least he gets the Pirates next.
Joc Pederson went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Thursday, dropping his average to .060.
It’s mostly been hard grounders and routine flies from Pederson thus far, but given that his bat speed is unchanged from last year, we don’t have big concerns here yet. That said, this might not be the weekend he turns it around, given that the Rangers are set to face the Dodgers.
