Hunter Brown continued his strong second half in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners. Brown pitched six innings, allowing one run on three hits and three walks with eight strikeouts. However, the Astros could not figure
Bryce Miller out and provided little run support. The 26-year-old has figured things out in the second half after a mediocre first half and is now 4-3 with a 2.26 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and 74 strikeouts in 12 starts and 71 2/3 IP. Assuming the Astros continue to use a six-man rotation to end the season, Brown will finish the 2024 regular season with an 11-9 record, a 3.49 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, and a 9.48 K/9 rate in 30 starts and 170 IP. This is a big improvement from his 2023 numbers and fantasy managers may have the opportunity to see him pitch more in the playoffs.

Hunter Brown continued his run of consistency on Thursday, tossing six shutout frames in a 1-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Brown allowed just four hits and a walk while punching out six in this one. The 26-year-old has figured things out since the start of May, with 15 of his 21 starts being quality starts since then. Other than a couple of blowups, he has been a consistent presence that fantasy managers can bank on to go six innings with about a strikeout per inning and decent ratios. He's not elite by any means, but he's certainly a solid arm to round out a rotation.

Hunter Brown picked up his ninth victory of the season on Wednesday versus the Oakland Athletics. Brown earned a quality start by tossing six innings, in which he allowed eight hits, one run, one walk and recorded eight strikeouts. Despite a rocky start to the season, Brown has really turned things on since May and been one of the better pitchers in the game during that span. For the season, Brown is now 9-6 with a 4.00 ERA and 118 strikeouts in 110 1/3 innings. Brown has become a near must-start with the way he has been pitching and will look to continue his success versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.
