Tylor Megill (SP, NYM) - Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups

Tylor Megill is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 22 of the 2021 MLB season. Consider adding the SP if he's a free agent in your leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams

ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Megill has put up some solid numbers in his rookie season with the Mets, going 1-2 with a 3.21 ERA, 1.161 WHIP and 25.9 percent strikeout rate over 56 innings of work. He'll open up Week 22 with what appears to be a tough matchup against the red-hot Giants, who are slashing .271/.331/.456 and averaging 5.0 runs per game over their last 10 games. However the Giants are hitting worse on the road (.234/.308/.428) than at home (.260/.344/.447), plus Megill just stymied the Giants in his last start at San Francisco, where he held them to one run while striking out six over six innings of work.

He'll end the week against another offense on a hot streak in Washington, as they are slashing .268/.349/.401 and averaging 4.8 runs per game over their last 10 games. But this should be a nice matchup for Megill as well, as the Nationals are hitting worse against right-handed pitching this year (.253/.323/.406) and they're also hitting worse on the road (.251/.326/.399) than at home (.264/.338/.433).

Despite the fact he's facing two of the hotter offenses in the league as of late, it appears that Megill could be in line for a couple of nice outings in Week 22. Megill is a high-ceiling, low-floor option, but he's worth the risk this week.
