Eli Morgan 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 14+ teams
ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues
ANALYSIS: One of several rookies in line for two starts in Week 22, Morgan has started to turn things around in the month of August, where he's posted three quality starts in four outings with a 3.52 ERA, 1.043 WHIP and 22.1 percent strikeout rate across 23 innings.
He'll open up the week against a struggling Texas squad that is slashing .219/.255/.377 and averaging 3.8 runs per game over their last 10 games. They're also hitting far worse against right-handers (.219/.289/.371) than against lefties (.231/.286/.365), and they're hitting far worse on the road (.213/.281/.352) than at home (.232/.296/.386).
Morgan will then close out the week facing off against Boston at home. He'll get a small bit of help from the fact the Red Sox are hitting slightly worse against right-handers this year (.256/.320/.446), but the bigger boost will come from Boston hitting worse on the road (.243/.306/.420) than at home (.276/.342/.465).
Morgan is going to have one great matchup and one rough matchup in Week 22. That Texas outing should provide the bulk of the value for Morgan this week, and it's possible that he could skate by and have a decent showing against Boston.
