Bubba Chandler Worth Another Look in Deeper Leagues?
Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler has steadied himself in his past four starts. The 23-year-old held the Seattle Mariners to one run across 5 1/3 innings on June 25 after working six innings of two-run ball at Coors Field on June 19. He hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in his last four starts and has a 2.82 ERA with 18 strikeouts and eight walks during that stretch. The improved run prevention is encouraging, but Chandler has not totally fixed the command issues that have shaped his season. He owns a 4.42 ERA (4.63 FIP) and a 1.39 WHIP with 73 strikeouts and a league-high 46 walks through 79 1/3 innings. He has made 15 starts in 16 appearances, but the walks make him difficult to trust in standard mixed leagues. Chandler is rostered in 62% of Yahoo leagues and is best suited in deeper formats as a matchup-based option.
