Soriano has quietly posted strong all-around numbers with eight wins, a 3.84 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 125 strikeouts in 113 innings. His groundball-centric approach (67.5% GB) suits favorable park factors, and he’s shown multiple six-inning outings. He’s a solid back-end option for fantasy rosters seeking strikeouts and ratio control, with occasional blowups to monitor.

Soriano’s upper-90s sinker limited the Dodgers’ bats for six innings, setting the tone for a dominant Angels win. His performance adds a layer to the Angels’ rotation depth and fantasy appeal, particularly in matchups where his velo plays up.

Soriano’s late-inning looks against the Dodgers highlight his growing role in the Angels’ bullpen, a factor fantasy owners weigh when considering streamers for high-leverage innings. His usage hints at the Angels' willingness to lean on rising arms in tight games.

Soriano’s home splits are stark: 1-7 with a 5.56 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 68 home innings, contrasted by better road metrics. The Angels’ narrative leans toward over on Angels’ team totals in some setups, but Soriano’s limited longevity and recent home struggles drive a cautious approach to his outs and innings props.

Soriano draws a tough opener vs a resurgent Dodgers offense after a rough Rays start. His command and limiter against a lineup that’s heated up will dictate Angels' chances to steal the opener. Fantasy angles hinge on his ability to keep the ball in the park and avoid the big inning against a powerful LA squad.
