Gavin Williams opposes Skubal in a pivotal division clash; Williams sits at 10-5 with a 3.16 ERA and 152 strikeouts, a key test for Cleveland's hopes as Detroit presses toward a home clinch.

Gavin Williams stands out as Cleveland’s primary arm, riding a recent surge with five 37+ FD points in seven outings and a 2.24 ERA across nine starts. He owns a solid 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP at home and a favorable Royals matchup (23rd OBP, 24th wOBA, 28th in runs). The Royals have shown little offense, making this a high-upside, low-variance alley for DFS.

Williams joined the year’s list of pitchers with a no-hitter into the ninth, anchoring the season-long rarity and elevating his profile among fantasy observers who chase depth arms with late-inning upside.

Williams represents a solid, controlled test for Caminero’s Rays at home, yet his road form isn’t as clean as his ERA suggests. The Rays’ home-friendly environment, coupled with Caminero’s hot streak, makes this a volume-driven prop scenario where Williams’ per-plate discipline could limit damage but still allow runs.

Gavin Williams fired 126 pitches against the Mets on Aug 6, taking a no-hitter into the ninth that day. Williams’ heavy workload underscores Cleveland’s willingness to push innings limits. For fantasy players, Williams remains a high-upside rookie with potential innings caps; monitor usage and upcoming matchup difficulty as he navigates an aggressive development path.
