Foster Griffin a Waiver-Wire Target in Anticipation of Bounce-Back?
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Foster Griffin has hit a bit of a skid lately, but the underlying metrics suggest that he's a bounce-back candidate, which bodes well for his rest-of-season fantasy outlook. Griffin has allowed 14 earned runs over his last 9.1 innings of work, but he has still maintained a solid 4.02 ERA across 10 starts. More importantly, he has a 3.84 xFIP with 8.68 K/9 and 2.89 BB/9 so far. Home runs have been his kryptonite to this point; allowing 1.61 HR/9 is a primary reason why he's been roughed up lately. He allowed just 0.12 HR/9 in the NPB last year, so fantasy managers should be optimistic that he'll crack down on loud contact sooner rather than later. He has hung around as the #76 starter in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings, and he's a solid waiver wire option as he remains available in 60% of leagues.
