Recent: Command sharpening across last 3 starts, limiting walks while sustaining 6+ innings of work.

Opp Splits: Angels’ right-leaning order doesn’t have much left-handed thump; the park plays fairly neutral for run scoring.

DFS Context: Singer matches up against the Angels in Anaheim, which doesn’t inflate run scoring and gives him a chance to maximize innings. The profile leans more on efficiency and win equity than raw strikeouts, but that steadier workload makes him a viable SP2 in cash builds. In tournaments, his ceiling is capped compared to pure strikeout arms, but the reduced risk of blow-ups can make him a leverage pivot if Ray or other higher-owned aces falter.
