Pfaadt carries the sharper profile with a 3.11 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and elite 2.34 BB/9 command despite a modest 5.95 K/9. Holmes misses more bats at 7.42 K/9 but his 3.79 BB/9 and 1.32 WHIP leave more traffic. The edge on run prevention clearly belongs to Pfaadt.

Atlanta's power-heavy lineup ranks 3rd in HR/game and stacks real thump with Acuna, Olson, and Harris, the type of lift that can punish Pfaadt's contact-first approach. Arizona is a lower-power, high-strikeout group, ranking 27th in HR/game and 28th in strikeouts, making them more dependent on stringing hits against Holmes. The stack appeal skews toward Atlanta's bats.

DFS Angles

Stack Atlanta's power core given their 3rd-ranked HR/game and the wind blowing out to center in 92F heat. Acuna, Olson, and Harris headline the upside plays.

Target Pfaadt as the more reliable SP given his 3.11 ERA and 1.13 WHIP; Holmes is a riskier fade in the hitter-friendly environment.
