It's wild to believe we are two months into the MLB and fantasy baseball season already. As summer weather starts to set in, starting pitchers with negative regression signs will need to work extra hard to prove their strong starts are worthy of a roster spot all season long.A few starters have held on to their strong starts much longer than anyone could have anticipated. In particular, Tyler Anderson, Trevor Williams, and Cal Quantrill continue to produce results for their respective struggling...

The 33-year-old had a career season in 2022 with the Dodgers, going 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 19.5% strikeout rate in 178...

This offseason saw Tyler Anderson remain in California and make the switch from the Dodgers to the Angels, signing a three-year, $40 million contract. It was a reward for Anderson, who signed a one-year, $8 million deal with the Dodgers last offseason and finished up having a career year.But where does the move leave his stock in a fantasy sense? Coming off his best season, you might think Anderson is a lock as a fantasy option. While that may be the case, it might not be as clear-cut as you ...

It was a surprising performance after Anderson pitched to a 4.62 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across his first six big league seasons. He did an excellent job limiting hard contact, with 98th-percentile average exit velocity and 91st-percentile barrel ...

3You could make an argument that the Angels have the two best players in the league on their roster, but despite that, they have been unable to make the playoffs every season they have had both Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout. They have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league given the talent they have and the money they have to spend.They have certainly had their share of bad luck on the injury front, but the bigger issue has been the starting pitching. They put together a bad 4.80 ...

The Los Angeles Angels agreed with free-agent starting pitcher Tyler Anderson on a three-year, $40 million deal on Tuesday.

Anderson turned down the $19.65 ...
