Bubba Chandler is 23 years old and in his first full season as a starter. He is a big arm pitcher, but can be inaccurate. Ten walks in 8.2 innings across two starts, but his fastball still averages 98.9 mph and hits 101-102. Hitters haven't squared him up: five hits allowed, zero home runs. The walks are keeping his pitch counts up and shortening his outings, but when he does throw strikes he is effective.

Freeland's 2.30 ERA looks strong on paper, but context matters here. He pitches half his games at Coors Field, where the thin air and spacious outfield benefit ground-ball pitchers. Away from Denver, his numbers have consistently been worse. In 2025 he went 4.98 ERA overall with 17 losses, and his FIP away from Coors sat at 4.51. That's a significant gap from his home profile. 

DeGrom's 2026 has started like his 2025 did, with health management.

Through it all the numbers stay clean: 3.72 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, 13 strikeouts and just one walk in 9.2 innings.
