Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Tarik Skubal. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Skubal #19 and Sanchez #21, and the expert consensus agrees (#25 and #14). The community leans Skubal, FRV 83.5 to 75.6. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has Skubal ahead, #17 to #27, and the rest-of-season engine agrees ($13 and $14).
JD on Cristopher Sanchez (Jul 15, 2026): Alright, as hot as Cris Sanchez was during the 50+ scoreless inning streak is as cold as he seems to be now. During the ASG you could clearly tell what was wrong, he would get ahead of guys quickly with great stuff and then he would start trying to get cute with his CH and kept missing armside because he wasn't finishing off the pitch. When Sanchez is dominating he is just letting his stuff play and K's come naturally, rather than trying to force the issue and leading to mechanical breakdowns. All this being said, I think it's time I back off of my #1 overall SP call and turn over the throne to it's rightful owner, the Mis.
JD on Tarik Skubal (May 27, 2026): Like I said in the Skenes blurb, I would have had him as my number one overall starter before the season started in Dynasty but the injury bug bit him. You can't have an injured pitcher be the number one overall in Dynasty option. Allegedly he is progressing well through rehab but if I see him come back towards the end of the year like he never missed a beat, then he might move back up for me. Like a house of cards, once you pull one card out of the foundation, things start to crumble and the whole frame becomes less stable. Obviously upside is number one overall pitcher. No one is disputing that. It's a matter of preference at this point. My preference is healthier, more durable pitchers over injury-prone pitchers, even if their upside might be higher.
