BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper leagues.
ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
Yusei Kikuchi has won seven of his 18 starts for the Blue Jays this season. He has 96 strikeouts in 93.1 innings and a 4.24 ERA with a 4.07 xFIP. Kikuchi is probably best used in the right matchups. In his last two starts, he allowed four and five earned runs against the White Sox and Red Sox, respectively.
In his two starts before that, he allowed one and zero earned runs against the Athletics and the Marlins, respectively. Kikuchi should be rostered in more leagues just based on his strikeouts, but he can also provide good ERA and WHIP in the right matchups.
