Veteran pitchers like Zac Gallen and Luis Castillo are causing concern among fantasy baseball owners. Gallen has struggled with a 6.62 ERA in the last month and a 5.75 ERA for the season, leading to calls for his removal from rosters. Despite a drop in performance, Castillo's historical value suggests he might still be worth holding onto, especially if he can turn it around post-All-Star break. Other notable mentions include Camilo Doval, who's showing inconsistent form but has upside, and Kenley Jansen, whose save opportunities remain intact despite high ERA numbers.

Roman Anthony, a top prospect, is still worth holding onto due to his potential, while Corey Seager’s underlying metrics indicate he might rebound soon, making him a buy-low candidate. The episode emphasizes the importance of trading struggling players if possible, and being cautious with roster decisions as the season progresses.

Chase Burns, the second overall pick from last year's draft, is set to make his MLB debut for the Cincinnati Reds after dominating in the minors with a 1.77 ERA and a 0.77 WHIP. His impressive fastball and slider have garnered high praise, making him a must-add for fantasy managers. Meanwhile, Jacob Miserowski is quickly becoming a must-start as he showcases his talent with a no-hitter into the seventh inning during his second start. The podcast also highlights the injury woes plaguing catchers like Adley Rutschman and their potential replacements, emphasizing waiver wire strategies for managers facing tough decisions due to injuries.

The Locked On Fantasy Baseball podcast provides insightful analysis for fantasy baseball enthusiasts, focusing on key player performances and trends. Mike Trout, despite recent struggles and injury concerns, is viewed as a prime buy target due to his strong underlying metrics, including a .394 expected on-base percentage and impressive exit velocity. Similarly, William Contreras is highlighted as a potential buy low candidate, urging listeners to capitalize on his current undervaluation.

On the pitching front, Dylan Cease's struggles are acknowledged, yet his strikeout potential and ability to correct his fastball flaws provide a glimmer of hope for fantasy owners. George Kirby's recent performances are a point of discussion, suggesting he could be acquired despite his inconsistent outputs. The episode emphasizes the importance of timing and strategy in trades while encouraging listeners to capitalize on players experiencing fluctuations in performance.
