Sean Burke Worth a Waiver-Wire Add in Week 9 in Seattle?
Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Sean Burke has a 4.10 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 41 strikeouts through 48 1/3 innings pitched on the season. While the strikeout rate per nine is not all that impressive, his ratios in the ERA and WHIP categories can be useful in deeper leagues, especially when he has matchups that aren't all that daunting. In Week 9, he lines up to pitch in Seattle to take on the Mariners on Wednesday, which is a solid matchup, especially with the Mariners missing two of their top four hitters in the lineup, Cal Raleigh (oblique) and Brendan Donovan (groin). Burke has made up for his lack of strikeouts with elite control (5.4 percent, 91st percentile), which has helped keep his WHIP ratio serviceable in fantasy. With a lot of pitching injuries happening, it never hurts to have depth at the position, and Burke is a name worth adding to give you decent ratios.
