Spencer Schwellenbach DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach will be tasked with taking the mound for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the New York Mets. The plan is for Schwellenbach to pitch in Game 1 and Chris Sale to take the ball in the night cap. It's worth noting that the Braves would clinch a postseason berth if they win the first game. That being said, the Braves would likely save Sale then and go bullpen game for the night contest. Schwellenbach holds a 3.47 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 122/23 K/BB ratio across 20 starts this season.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach held the Reds to just one run over six innings in Wednesday's 7-1 victory. The 24-year-old allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five batters on the way to earning his seventh win of the season. The outing marked the 10th straight start in which the righty allowed three runs or less, and he lowered his season-long ERA to 3.61 with a 1.10 WHIP. The youngster will take on the Mets at home in his next start on Tuesday of next week.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach dominated the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, allowing just two runs over 6 innings on the way to a 3-2 victory. Schwellenbach allowed three hits and a walk while striking out nine in this one. It has been a remarkable season for the 24-year-old, who got called up on May 29 and has blown expectations away in his rookie season. He now has a 3.94 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 94 strikeouts in 82 IP. Schwellenbach is a must-start pitcher and will be a popular breakout pick for the 2025 season.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach was sharp on the mound during Sunday's outing against the Colorado Rockies. The rookie right-hander struck out seven batters while allowing two runs over six innings of work in a no-decision. Schwellenbach has pitched well this season, but the Braves offense never seems to give him much support. He'll take a 3.95 ERA into a favorable outing against the Los Angeles Angels in his next time out.

Atlanta Braves rookie right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach will make his next start this Sunday on the road at Coors Field against the hosting Colorado Rockies. The Braves announced earlier this week that they were going to skip Schwellenbach's next turn through the rotation for rest purposes, but apparently those plans have been scrapped for now. It seems likely that Atlanta will eventually reduce the 24-year-old's workload, though, given the fact that he's already exceeded his innings total from last year by 40 frames. Schwellenbach will have a good matchup against the Rockies this weekend, but hitter-friendly Coors Field isn't ideal. In three starts since the All-Star break, Schwellenbach has allowed only seven earned runs on 15 hits (five homers) while walking none and fanning 29 in 20 innings. Most fantasy managers will be willing to roll the dice in a matchup versus Colorado.
