Don't be fooled by certain stats in fantasy baseball. Nick Lodolo's 6.29 ERA is misleading due to a high BABIP and HR/FB rate, making him a buy-low candidate. Shane Bieber's 2.61 ERA is also deceiving as he's allowing a lot of hard contact and his K-BB% isn't top-50 among starters. Jarred Kelenic's .288 batting average is likely to drop as pitchers have adjusted to him. Josiah Gray's 3.03 ERA is also misleading as he's benefited from good fortune and a decrease in fastball velocity, making him a regression candidate.
