This outing underscores a season of solid starts for Schmidt, who now boasts a 2.95 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP through eight starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.9 K/9) while managing a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.13) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. Despite a slightly elevated BABIP (.330), Schmidt's consistent performance, highlighted by his latest win, should keep him as a reliable option in fantasy rotations, particularly in categories that reward strikeouts and ERA.

Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next few starts to see if he can sustain his strikeout prowess and manage his run allowance more effectively.

His performance this season has been a mixed bag, characterized by a solid 3.55 ERA but a concerning 1.46 WHIP, largely due to a .375 BABIP, indicating some bad luck with balls in play. His strong strikeout rate of 10.3 K/9 continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues that reward strikeouts, but managers should be wary of potential volatility in his starts due to the high number of baserunners.

Fantasy managers should consider him a risky play, depending on the matchup, as inconsistency might be part of his profile this season.
