Baz, 9-12 with a 5.15 ERA, lurks in the Rays’ rotation as Toronto tests the depth, presenting a potential value spot for offensive bets in favorable conditions.

Baz’s ceiling is highlighted by a string of solid road starts and a favorable matchup against CLE, giving him affordable upside in DK/FD formats. His strikeout upside pairs well with cheaper stacks or a real power source in the lineup.

Baz looked like the breakout arm Rays hoped for, scattering five hits and two walks over six innings of scoreless baseball. His control and pace helped Tampa Bay seize control early, while the bullpen locked it down. This is a real confidence boost for a rotation that needed stability and for fantasy managers eyeing a reliable start option.

Baz has shown home-venue volatility, with recent starts at Steinbrenner Field hinting at struggles. The Rays’ bullpen depth could cap upside, but Baz’s upside in strikeouts remains a DFS lever, especially in tournaments with careful leverage management.

Baz is a riskier two-start streamer with solid underlying stuff but fluctuating results; his starts vs SEA and CLE present a high-variance scenario where luck and command could swing week outcomes.
