Landen Roupp DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp had another strong start on Saturday night, holding the Angels to just two runs on five hits over seven innings. He had nine strikeouts and limited the damage to just a pair of solo home runs by Mike Trout. This was Roupp's longest outing of the year and his second straight victory. He has compiled a 4.09 ERA and 3.25 FIP across 22 innings with an impressive 11.9 K/9. The 26-year-old has made a successful transition from the bullpen to the rotation so far this season, and he is a good streaming and NL-only option against the Brewers for his next start on Thursday. If he keeps posting outings like this one, he'll soon be mixed-league material as well.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Landen Roupp has earned the fifth spot in the starting rotation to begin the season. It was down to Roupp or Hayden Birdsong, but manager Bob Melvin confirmed on Monday that Roupp will get the final spot in the rotation. Roupp has been extremely impressive this season and is well deserving of this chance. Last season, Roupp posted a 3.58 ERA, 1,37 WHIP, and 47/26 K/BB ratio across 23 games (four starts) with the Giants. He's someone that should have fantasy value right away in most formats, assuming he's able to adjust to being a full-time starter. Birdsong will see his fantasy value take a hit with the shift to the bullpen.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Landen Roupp will start the team's Cactus League opener on Saturday against the Texas Rangers and will likely throw two innings. Roupp will kick things off for the Giants this weekend after making his major-league debut in 2024 and going 1-2 with a 3.58 ERA (3.42 FIP), a 1.37 WHIP and 47:26 K:BB in 50 1/3 innings over his first 23 appearances (four starts). The former 12th-rounder in 2021 out of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington struggled in relief early on last year after surprisingly making the Opening Day roster, but he looked much better later in the year in a closing role, albeit in a small sample size. The 26-year-old relies on a sinker-curveball mix to generate ground balls. It's unlikely that he'll make the club's Opening Day starting rotation, but Roupp could be an interesting and cheap deep-league DFS streamer if he gets starts again at some point.
