Mitch Keller Pegged as Trade Candidate and Strong Two-Start Option for Upcoming Week

Mitch Keller is highlighted on MLB's trade deadline rankings, offering a blend of track record and upside as a durable mid-rotation starter for the Pirates. He remains under contract for three more years at a favorable price, making him an attractive trade asset for a Pirates team looking to address offensive needs. Looking ahead to the upcoming week of July 28, Keller is projected for a strong two-start week, beginning with a matchup against the Giants in a pitcher-friendly park and concluding against the Rockies at Coors Field. Despite concerns about his strikeout rates and win equity pitching for the Pirates, his two-start schedule, especially against the Rockies, is expected to mute these issues, making him a strong fantasy option.
