Bryan Woo a Buy-Low Candidate After Bounce-Back Outing
Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo doesn't have amazing surface stats (4.02 ERA, 38 strikeouts in 47 innings pitched over his eight starts), but most of the damage against him (13 earned runs in nine innings) came in two starts against the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals. He showed his true potential his last time out in a bounce-back effort against the first-place Atlanta Braves on May 6, when he tossed six shutout frames with only one hit allowed and a season-high-tying nine strikeouts. The 26-year-old has a 1.00 WHIP on the year and only eight walks in 47 innings pitched. The 26-year-old's 3.80 FIP and 3.53 xERA show that he's pitched better than his surface stats suggest, making him a prime buy-low candidate in fantasy baseball. Woo is also in the 96th percentile in walk rate, and he's had ERAs under 3.00 in each of the last two seasons with the M's. He'll have another difficult matchup upcoming against the Houston Astros, but if he has another strong start against them, it may be difficult to buy low on him.
