Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball - Week 11

I missed last week, but I'm back! It's been tough sledding for many SPs, but there have been plenty of helpful young names coming up and pitching pretty well at the highest level. A lot of these names are now unavailable to us, but there are still some league's clearly lagging behind the curve and... Read More

Jack Flaherty - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS:   We have a long way to go before feeling confident in Flaherty again, so I'll be brief here. It's been another bad year for the once highly-touted prospect, with his poor 11.8% SwStr% and 12.6% BB%. However, over his last four... Read More

Bryan Woo - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS:   We don't know much about Woo, as he came up to the Majors straight from the AA level to pitch on Saturday. That start aside, we know that Woo has some definite upside in the long-term as he's managed a 34.3%... Read More

Michael Soroka - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS:   We have seen very, very little of Soroka in the Majors over the last few years, but he made his long-awaited return to the Braves rotation last week and pitched decently well in his return, giving up four runs on five... Read More

JP Sears - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS:   This isn't a streamers piece, but it is worth noting that Sears gets a two-start week this week against the Pirates and Brewers, so that is reason enough to pick him up. But, in my view, he has proven to be good enough... Read More

Reese Olson - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS:   The Tigers young righty debuted on Friday night and pitched quite well, delivering six innings of two-hit, two-run ball with six strikeouts. The most interesting thing about Olson is that he came out confidently with his slider, throwing it a start-high... Read More

Brayan Bello - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS:   We had five pretty solid starts in a row from Bello there before a dud last week. What has me still holding on is the above-average 12.8% SwStr% that goes with his elite 60% GB%. If you can manage an above-average... Read More

Louie Varland - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Louie V is going through a brutal patch of his schedule right now, recently having faced the Angels and now being scheduled to take on the Blue Jays and Rays for his next two. Because of that, maybe it's best to leave... Read More

Logan Allen - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Allen's ownership seems to have topped out around 40%, which is pretty surprising given the 2.72 ERA he has posted in the Majors so far. His strikeout rate has fallen off significantly from the 34% he posted in the minors this year,... Read More

Edward Cabrera - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Cabrera is hovering right around the 50% ownership mark, and he's certainly not available in many leagues deeper than 12-teamers, but he's under the threshold at this moment so I want to mention him. We have long known that Cabrera has elite... Read More

It's a new week and we're back to try to accomplish the tough task of finding SP help on the waiver wire. The league ERA sits up above 4.30 right now, almost half a run higher than a year ago. We need to change some of our expectations from pitching because of that and set... Read More

Tylor Megill - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS:   He has not done a fantastic job in the Mets rotation this year with a 3.88 ERA and a rough 1.42 WHIP. The K-BB% is also down low at 6.0% with his 17% K% and 11% BB% – but things are... Read More

Jack Flaherty - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS:   It feels dirty to do this, but Flaherty has done enough to get himself some fantasy consideration back. In his last outing, he racked up 17 whiffs and struck out ten Brewers through seven innings. It was a fantastic start. His... Read More

Michael Wacha - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS:   There's something to be said for the old boring veteran. They have proven to be able to stay in the rotation and deliver good starts often enough to help the team. That is Michael Wacha in a nutshell. He currently sits... Read More

JP Sears - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9

BALLER MOVE:  Add 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS:   He has pitched his way into this piece, most recently going six strong innings against the Astros while putting up a 7:1 K:BB ratio and a 1.00 WHIP. It had been a great month of May even prior to that gem against... Read More

Brayan Bello - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Bello got a vote of confidence this week as the Red Sox sent Nick Pivetta to a bullpen role. That gives him the chance to stick in a rotation that currently looks like this: Chris Sale Corey Kluber James Paxton Garrett Whitlock... Read More

James Paxton - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS:   It feels weird to be writing this, but Paxton is back and pitching well! He deserves some recognition in fantasy leagues. Here's the pitch mix breakdown for the year: The 11.9% SwStr% is low, but it's right around the league average.... Read More

Reid Detmers - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS:   I don't want to ever react very much to one start. Detmers has been up and down and mostly frustrating for his short MLB career, but seeing what he did on Friday night does have been bumping him up a bit. He... Read More
