Season line

24 starts, 9-6, 3.96 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 127.1 innings. He's struck out 104 over that span, against 45 walks. This is the baseline the matchup adjusts from — the model starts here and then asks what the specific lineup he's facing does to strikeout arms, how the park plays, and how deep he's likely to go.

He throws left-handed

Anthony is a left-hander, and that matters more for a starter than it does for most hitters. Lineups get built specifically to attack lefties — managers stack right-handed bats against them — so the lineup he draws on a given night swings his projection further than a righty's would. The model prices the actual lineup rather than a season-long rate for exactly that reason. A stacked righty lineup is the spot where his strikeout projection comes down hardest.

His last 5 starts

Anthony has 24 strikeouts in 29.0 innings across his last 5 starts, a 7.4 K/9, with a 3.10 ERA over that stretch and 5 walks. Strikeouts are the one pitcher market where our model has found real, graded room — projected workload and the specific lineup he draws move that number more than a season-long rate does. Start-by-start detail is in the log below.

Strikeouts and control

Anthony has 104 strikeouts and 45 walks in 127.3 innings this season — 7.4 K/9 against 3.2 BB/9, a 2.3-to-1 ratio. That's around league-typical control — enough to work deep when the lineup cooperates, not enough to bail him out of a bad matchup.

What his floor looks like

Anthony has made 26 starts this season, averaging 4.9 innings with a 4.03 ERA across them. In the 12 starts we hold detailed lines for, he got through five or more innings 8 times. That ratio is the honest read on his floor, and it's what separates an arm worth projecting on the outs board from one whose good starts are unpredictable enough that the market prices them better than we do.

How long he goes

Anthony is averaging 5.4 innings a start across his last 8 outings, with a high of 6.3 and about 88 pitches a night. He's not going deep, and that caps the strikeout and outs projections no matter how good the matchup looks — you can't strike out hitters you don't face. Expected batters faced is one of the bigger inputs to his score for exactly this reason.

His best start in the log

Anthony's high-water mark was Monday, June 22, 2026 against CLE: 8 strikeouts over 6.0 innings, 0 earned runs. One start doesn't set a projection — the model works off the blend of his recent work against the specific lineup in front of him — but it does show the ceiling when the matchup lines up.

How the model reads him

The number on Anthony is about tonight, not about him. Strip out the name and the model is asking one question: what does this specific lineup do to this kind of arm, in this park, for as many batters as he's likely to face? That gets scored against every other starter on the slate. The combination math is proprietary and re-tuned every week. The grading isn't — it's all public, including the misses.

What we'd flag

Books don't price every player — coverage tops out around 87% even for confirmed starters, so "no line" here usually means no book posted one rather than a gap in our data. Lineups change late, and an afternoon projection can be stale by first pitch. And the model is tuned across hundreds of graded outcomes, so one game tells you nothing about whether it's working.
