Starting pitcher rankings for Tuesday, June 27

Pitchers to stream

Bryan Woo, Seattle Mariners — Making the jump straight from Double-A, Woo got blasted in his first career start, allowing six runs in just two innings to the Texas Rangers. But he’s shifted his pitch mix a bit since then, leaning on his explosive four-seam fastball, and the results have been encouraging: four runs allowed on nine hits in 15.2 innings against the Los Angeles Angels, White Sox and Yankees, while striking out 21. The righty will get the Washington Nationals at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park on Tuesday, and he’s got as much strikeout upside as you’ll find on the waiver wire in that spot.

Gavin Williams, Cleveland Guardians — Williams’ much-anticipated debut last week was a bit up-and-down, coughing up four runs in the third inning but keeping the Oakland Athletics off the scoreboard otherwise. The way he bounced back to close his start was impressive, and this is still an electric arm that scouts regarded as the best remaining pitching prospect in the Minors before he got the call. With a triple-digits fastball and two plus breaking pitches — and the Guardians’ great track record of pitcher development — he could go off against the dismal Kansas City Royals.

Paul Blackburn, Oakland Athletics — Blackburn has been much better than his 4.21 ERA would suggest since returning from injury earlier this month — Statcast has his expected ERA at 3.27, and he’s fanned 30 batters over 25.2 innings of work. His hard-hit rate and chase rate are among the best in baseball, and once he gets a little more batted-ball luck, he could take off. That should start on Tuesday, as Blackburn gets a juicy matchup against the a New York Yankees offense that’s been baseball’s worst since Aaron Judge went down.

And now, without further ado, here are your full starting pitcher rankings for fantasy baseball on Tuesday, June 27.
