BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 26% of Yahoo leagues
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Trevor Williams has refused to allow more than two earned runs in an outing this season. In his next start, Williams will face the Rockies. Thankfully, that matchup will be at home, and not at Coors Field.
Not only will Williams get to avoid the hitter-friendly environment in Colorado, but it is also a perk because Williams performed better at home in 2017 (3.45 ERA) as opposed to his road starts (4.96 ERA). During last season, Williams also allowed five earned runs in his lone start in Coors Field.
His strikeout total has risen after each game this year (one, four, and five). It can be expected that number to get even higher in his next trip to the hill. The Rockies have struck out the second-most times in baseball, thus far (141 strikeouts). He will also get a start in Philadelphia against the Phillies and, while the Phillies are riding a six-game winning streak, this two-start pitcher should be owned in more than a little over a quarter of leagues.
