Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot shut down the Los Angeles Angels in Thursday's series finale to win his second game of the year. In his six innings of work, Pepiot allowed just one earned run on three hits while walking three and striking out seven to drop his season ERA to 4.37. The 26-year-old needed a good performance after he gave up five runs to the San Francisco Giants his last time on the bump. The lone run that Pepiot allowed on Thursday to the Angels came on a sacrifice fly in his sixth and final inning. He has walked eight and struck out 27 so far in his four starts while posting a 1.01 WHIP. Pepiot will now look for a second straight strong start his next outing in what has so far been an up-and-down year for the former Dodger.
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot was nearly unhittable during Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander threw six shutout innings while striking out 11 batters in the victory. Pepiot allowed only three hits during this outing while walking zero batters. Pepiot was lit up during his last start but turned the page on Sunday. He has plenty of hit-and-miss stuff, which should lead to high strikeout numbers. His next outing will be more challenging against the San Francisco Giants.
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot will look to get his 2024 season back on track as he makes his second start against the Colorado Rockies in Coors Field on Sunday. Pepiot struggled in his Rays debut on April 1 as he surrendered six earned runs, four hits, and four walks across five innings against the Texas Rangers. He struck out three. The former Dodger posted a strong 2.14 ERA and 0.76 WHIP across 42 innings last season, suggesting his first start could have been an outlier. Pepiot should be a popular play in DFS today, as the Rockies have struggled this season with a 2-7 record.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot is gearing up to make regular starts in 2024. After two seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, he was sent to Tampa Bay in the Tyler Glasnow trade last December. Pepiot has thrown just 78 1/3 innings in the majors but has done well, posting a 2.76 ERA and 80 strikeouts. This season, he will likely be in the Rays' starting rotation. There are multiple ways this could improve his fantasy value. First, Pepiot's advanced metrics suggest he is elite at limiting hard contact and preventing walks. The Rays tend to have an excellent defense, so his play style should translate well. Second, he will still have relief pitcher eligibility in 2024. As a starter, this can be incredibly beneficial to a fantasy team, especially in points leagues. There is much to like about drafting Pepiot. His NFBC ADP is currently around 200. ATC projects him to throw 136 innings with a 3.99 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 23.8 K%. However, he could undoubtedly exceed both his draft stock and his projections. Not only is he talented, but the Rays are second to none when maximizing their pitchers' abilities. Overall, 2024 could be a big year for Pepiot.
