Ray’s late-season form is volatile after a Tommy John-era recovery; velocity upticks in his last outing provide a glimmer, but a tough closing slate makes him a risky hold outside shallow leagues that chase upside.

Ray carries a sharp strikeout rate and a 3.18 ERA, entering Coors Field with a favorable spread for fantasy upside. His last start was rough, but the upside in Denver remains; he’s a game-script pivot for DFS lineups that prize Ks and win probability.

Ray’s Coors-era susceptibility and recent upside in off-speed usage shape a dynamic Giants-Rockies pull. His Coors-field history and matchup against Rockies hitters open the door for an over-friendly game script, while contrasting Márquez’s own vulnerabilities abroad. Ray’s ceiling remains high if he avoids the big inning early.

Ray returns to form after Tommy John rehab and carries a strong K% that makes him a premier DFS arm. In Coors Field, his strikeout upside pairs well with Giants stacks; the Rockies have shown lefty struggles recently, boosting Ray’s upside in this slate.

Ray returns to the mound with a chance to stabilize the Giants’ rotation against Baltimore. His ability to mix speeds and command off-speed pitches could limit Baltimore’s attack and provide SF with a strong chance to control late-game dynamics.
