Brandon Woodruff News
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff dropped to 7-5 after he was on the losing side of Sunday's 3-1 battle to the White Sox. He logged seven innings and gave up three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine in the series finale. Woodruff has now gone winless in four consecutive starts, but his 3.24 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 9.7 K/9 over that stretch gives fantasy managers little reason to panic. He was outdueled Sunday by Lance Lynn, who threw six innings of one-run ball before turning the game over to hard-throwing relievers Michael Kopech and Liam Hendriks for the final three frames. With Milwaukee expected to keep its six-man rotation intact until further notice, Woodruff is unlikely to make his next start until Aug. 1 in Atlanta. He's going to start catching wins eventually, and his underlying statistics still are elite.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine over seven innings of work on Sunday, but was saddled with the loss in a 3-1 defeat against the White Sox. Woodruff has been one of the top pitchers in the league this season, going 7-5 with a 2.14 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 30.4 percent strikeout rate over a career-high 126 innings of work. Managers have to be starting Woodruff every time he takes the mound, and his next start will come this upcoming weekend against the Braves.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff went 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and four walks in a no-decision against the Reds. He struck out eight. Woodruff struggled with walks, issuing a season-high four free passes, but still limited the Reds to a pair of runs in the second inning, only one of which was earned. Woodruff is winless (0-1) in his first three July starts but still owns a sterling 2.04 ERA and 0.83 WHIP in 119 innings overall this season, posting a 137:29 K: BB ratio. He's tentatively scheduled for a home start next week against the White Sox. Woodruff has not been given run support from the Brewers lately, in fact, he has the least amount of run support in the NL this year. His peripherals continue to be elite, but the wins have been tough to come by.

Brandon Woodruff didn't post a winning record for the Brewers in 2020 (3-5), but he did everything else fantasy managers look for. His 3.05 ERA and 3.29 xFIP over 73 2/3 IP were great for fantasy managers looking for ratio help. He also posted a K% above 30 for the first time in his career at 31.1, and his spin rate appears to be the reason why. Woodruff averaged 2,257 RPM on his four-seamer in 2019, leading to good but not great numbers (11.9 SwStr%, 60.3 Zone%). He upped his spin rate to 2,457 RPM last season, transforming it into one of the best heaters in the game (17.5 SwStr%, 62.7 Zone%). Furthermore, Woodruff held opponents to a .269 BABIP thanks to an IFFB% spike (5% in '19, 17.2% last season) that also seems connected to his spin rate. His fastball's IFFB% didn't change that much year-over-year (28.1% vs. 32%), but its FB% skyrocketed (31.7% to 46.3%). He also mixed in more sinkers, potentially helping his fastball play up. Woodrow's secondaries include a slider (17.6 SwStr%, 38.9 Zone%, 33.8% chase rate) and a changeup (15 SwStr%, 39.9 Zone%, 35.9% chase), both of which are more good than great. Therefore, Woodrow will need to retain his improved spin rate to earn his current ADP of 38.61.
