BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams
ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Anderson has shown up in this column several times this season, and while he has been inconsistent at times he has been one of the better pitchers in the league since the beginning of July, as he's gone 3-1 with a 3.36 ERA, 1.179 WHIP and 19.0 percent strikeout rate over 67 innings of work.
He'll kick things off against the hot-hitting Athletics who are slashing .267/.336/.396 and averaging 5.6 runs per game over their last 10 games. Oakland is hitting better against left-handers this year (.243/.317/.412), but they're also hitting worse at home (.228/.313/.387) than on the road (.250/.322/.431).
Anderson should get a better matchup against the Angels, as they have struggled over their last 10 games with a .216/.301/.384 triple-slash line while averaging 3.7 runs per game. While the matchup looks good, Anderson will be on the wrong end of their splits as they're hitting better against lefties (.248/.313/.427) and they're hitting better at home (.258/.321/.438).
This week could go either way for Anderson. On one hand the splits don't look great for these matchups, but on the other hand he's been consistently solid on the mound lately. He's more of a gamble than Gutierrez, but he should still be a solid play in Week 26.
