Locked On Fantasy Baseball - Daily MLB Fantasy Podcast

Trevor Rogers rockets into top 36 starting pitchers after a bounce-back season with the Baltimore Orioles—can fantasy baseball managers trust his resurgence? Matthew Ahne and Dominick Martino dissect Rogers’ arsenal, including his dominant fastball, increased changeup usage, and impressive ground ball rates, debating where he fits as an SP3 or SP4. The conversation expands to other polarizing arms like Gerrit Cole’s injury return with the New York Yankees, Bubba Chandler’s SP3 upside for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the high-risk, high-reward profiles of Jesus Luzardo (Philadelphia Phillies) and Dylan Cease (Toronto Blue Jays).

 

Key topics include ERA sustainability, strikeout potential, park effects, prospect pedigree, and ADP value. The hosts challenge industry rankings, spotlight personal flags, and examine why certain pitchers—despite pedigree or underlying stats—may still be too risky at their current draft positions. Who will outperform expectations and who’s a potential trap? Get ahead in your 2026 fantasy drafts with this fiery, stat-packed debate.
