Fantasy Baseball Alert: Which Starting Pitchers Are Dominating and Which Are Crumbling as We Approach Midseason 2025?

We know Abbott’s 1.84 ERA isn’t sustainable, but he’s better than you think — the batted-ball data suggests a still-excellent 2.92 ERA. Abbott shows control over his outcomes with his heavy fly-ball rate (third among starters over 50 innings), which isn’t a bad thing — we want pitchers to show a bias in one way or another with batted-ball events.
Kirby and Strider are both difficult to rank after extended absences (a more serious one for Strider, of course), but after watching Kirby strike out 14 in his last turn and Strider whiff 13, we have to take the training wheels off. Strider managers have to pray Atlanta keeps the wild card within reach — the Braves are currently six games below .500 — or else all the major Atlanta pitching could be looking at early vacations in the middle of September.
