Kenny G said bettors should side with Houston at –105 because Tobias Myers is simply not ready for prime-time. Through two starts and a mop-up relief outing the rookie right-hander has been tagged for four earned in just 3.0 total innings, coughing up a homer to the White Sox and walking three. Kenny pointed out that Milwaukee backs him with a 4.87 bullpen ERA—sixth-worst in baseball—so Craig Counsell will have no safety net once Myers inevitably exits early. Meanwhile Ronel Blanco has been mediocre (5.08 ERA) but hands the ball to a Houston bullpen that ranks fourth with a 2.84 ERA. Offensively the Astros have been inconsistent (19th in runs, 21st in slugging) yet Kenny expects some positive regression and still prefers them to a Brewers lineup that has produced only four total runs in its last four games and sits 24th in slugging. With the market making Milwaukee a slight –115 favorite despite those gaps, Kenny believes the Astros moneyline is the clear value play and is comfortable fading Myers until he shows something.

Mike Maher said he will once again start Tobias Myers on Monday, calling the right-hander a near-weekly fixture on his rosters. Myers draws the Astros, whose lineup has been oddly toothless—bottom-10 in ISO and runs per game since mid-May. Maher emphasized that Myers’ slider has generated a 34% whiff rate, giving him enough strikeout juice to take advantage of Houston’s current slump. Given the opponent’s name value, Maher expects Myers to remain available in many leagues and believes fantasy managers can squeeze a quality start or at least solid ratios from the pickup.

Kirby advised patience with Tobias Myers, but only for managers who can absorb ratio pain. After two rusty rehab starts (6 IP, 4 ER, 7 BB, 5 K), she expects a walk-heavy profile to remain—citing last year’s 9.7% BB-rate and the fact he has issued at least three free passes in 7 of his last 10 MLB outings. The appeal is matchup-driven strikeout juice: whenever he faces clubs in the top third of K-percentage, Myers has flashed 10+ K upside thanks to a deceptive low-90s fastball. Kirby ranked him clearly behind Gonsolin and Giolito, framing him as a streamer you deploy only versus whiff-happy lineups and bench otherwise.

Adam Rosenberg played Tobias Myers under 4.5 hits allowed at –106 against Chicago. Rosenberg shredded the White Sox, noting they own a 75 WRC+ and .271 wOBA over the past two weeks with a .257 BABIP that signals consistently weak contact. Their hard-hit rate is just 26% and the lineup is pounding grounders (GB/FB under 1.0) while striking out 24% of the time. Myers limited a much better contact team in San Francisco to fewer than five hits in his most recent start, and Rosenberg believes Milwaukee will let the rookie work five solid innings before turning it over to a fully-rested bullpen. Against what he called "the weakest contact known to man," Rosenberg expects Chicago to top out at three or four knocks.

Calling Wednesday his favorite play, Mayer advised grabbing Tobias Myers fresh off the IL because he draws the White Sox, a team with the worst wRC+ (76) and ISO (.121) against right-handed pitching. Myers posted a 3.14 ERA and 1.02 WHIP last season and carried those skills through rehab, logging 14 strikeouts in 10 innings. Mayer likes the combination of a pitcher with above-average command (6 percent BB-rate) and a terrible opponent, predicting 5–6 innings, 5+ Ks, and good odds at a win for stream-hungry managers.
