Quintana provided the Mets with needed innings, then Lady Luck did her part. The veteran lefty logged 170.1 frames, his most since 2019. His 3.75 ERA was pegged over half a run too low by its estimators. Quintana's 10.0 K-BB% was his lowest since his rookie season, way back in 2012. A .263 BABIP (despite being a groundball pitcher) and a 78.2 percent left on base mark rescued his ratios. Three straight seasons with a sub-4.00 will draw attention, fantasy and otherwise, but Quintana's expected ERA is over 4.00, landing around the league average. League average can be useful, but a low strikeout rate subjects Quintana to variance, along with lowering his fantasy production. There will be favorable scenarios to stream the southpaw, just don't be fooled by his deflated ERA in recent seasons. Read Past Outlooks
