Freddy Peralta is posting a breakout 2025 for Milwaukee, already leading the National League in wins with 17 while logging roughly 170 innings, a 2.65 ERA, 195 strikeouts and 65 walks. His run anchors Milwaukee’s rotation as the club contends for a postseason push, prompting debate about where this season slots among the Brewers’ best-ever starting-pitcher campaigns.

Final two weeks demand ruthless streaming in fantasy baseball. This piece ranks two-week-starting-pitcher options for Sep 17–21, split into Strong Preference, Fairly Confident, Hesitation, and Desperate categories. Emphasis on two-start weeks when matchups align, and on exploiting high-curiosity offense groups labeled as Highway Offenses (Guardians, Rays, Nationals, Cardinals, Rockies, Reds on the road) and Green Light Offenses (Orioles, Tigers, Angels, Marlins, Giants, Rangers, Red Sox, White Sox, Pirates, Athletics on the road; Mariners in Seattle).

Cardinals late-season notes spotlight Michael McGreevy as a budding mid-rotation anchor, with 86 innings and a 3.75 FIP signaling upside for 2026. The rest of the rotation battled HRs and inconsistency, led by Sonny Gray’s 4.43 ERA and Miles Mikolas’s innings-eating but homer-prone work. Liberatore showed spring-time promise, while Pallante, Fedde, Leahy and Matz provided depth but mixed results. West Coast finales vs Brewers and Giants shape keeper-league decisions, with a hopeful closer glance toward Cubs games to close 2025.

Brewers vs Angels sets up a late-season fantasy tilt as Milwaukee seeks to preserve NL seeding. Freddy Peralta looks to rebound after a rough September, facing Angels rookie Caden Dana, who carries a high ERA but a bright future. Sal Frelick leads off with a patient approach, while Jackson Chourio and Blake Perkins bring speed and defense in the outfield. Yelich DHs behind a versatile infield of Durbin, Ortiz, Turang, and Vaughn with Contreras handling catching. First pitch 6:40 p.m. CT; Milwaukee aims to push series wins and bolster fantasy upside.
