Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios was fantastic on Sunday, shutting out the Colorado Rockies for seven innings in a 5-0 win. Berrios had it all working in this one, as he allowed just two hits and two walks while striking out seven. He generated 17 whiffs on 100 pitches, including 10 on his slurve. With the great outing, Berrios lowered his ERA to a microscopic 1.05 and his WHIP to 0.97. He likely won't be this good all season, but he should be a stabilizing force for both the Blue Jays and fantasy managers.
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios improved to 2-0 in Monday's 5-2 win over the Mariners. Berrios tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing four hits and a walk with six strikeouts. The 29-year-old has gotten off to a strong start with a 1.45 ERA and a 6.75 K/9 rate in his first three starts and 18 2/3 IP. He should have a good chance to continue his hot streak in his next scheduled start against the Rockies at home.
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced on Tuesday morning that right-hander Jose Berrios will make the team's Opening Day start on March 28 on the road against the Tampa Bay Rays. "He embodies what we're talking about when we talk about stuff, durability, teammate, professionalism. I was thrilled to give him that news this morning," Schneider said. Berrios gets the nod with ace Kevin Gausman (shoulder) working through shoulder issues in spring training. It won't be the easiest matchup for DFS purposes against Toronto's American League East rival on the road. The 29-year-old Puerto Rican hurler had a solid year in 2023 in his second year in Toronto, going 11-12 with a 3.65 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 52 walks and 184 K's in 32 starts. Berrios isn't as intriguing as he once was in fantasy, but he still has a solid floor as a back-end starter.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios isn't the trendiest pick to make in fantasy drafts, but the 29-year-old still has value thanks to the sheer number of innings he's capable of providing. Berrios has made 32 starts in every full season dating back to 2018 and has tossed at least 172 innings every season except for the shortened 2020 campaign. That incredible consistency makes Berrios a bit of an ironman by modern baseball standards, but a decline in production since joining Toronto in 2021 may make fantasy managers pause before drafting the 29-year-old. Specifically, the 2022 season was rough for Berrios; he pitched to career worst marks in ERA (5.23), WHIP (1.42), K-rate (19.8%), and virtually every other statistical category. He bounced back last season, however, as his pitching line of 11 wins, 3.65 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 23.5% K-rate were more in line with his career-norms. Berrios is unlikely to post gaudy strikeout totals, but he should provide better than average ratios while racking up enough innings to make a positive impact in fantasy. How valuable Berrios is depends largely on league size. In shallow formats, Berrios' limited upside doesn't elevate him much higher than replacement-level production available on waivers. However, the deeper the league, the more value Berrios provides as a stabilizer for a fantasy rotation, whose workmanlike production can be had for a pick outside the top-150 overall selections according to average draft position.
