Strikeout Rate Risers and Fallers for Week 13: Buy or Sell?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The 2016 season was a huge revival season for Dan Straily.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues, Monitor in All Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Joey Gallo has shown his ridiculous power in every level of the minor leagues. He has been the definition of a three-true-outcome hitter in the majors, with a career 48.8% strikeout rate, 13.4% walk rate, and a .195 ISO.
