Cal Quantrill (SP, CLE) - Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

Cal Quantrill is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 21 of the 2021 MLB season. Consider adding the SP if he's a free agent in your leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams

ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Quantrill has had a nice year so far, going 3-2 with a 3.13 ERA, 1.229 WHIP and 18.5 percent strikeout rate over 97 2/3 innings of work. But over his last seven starts he's been particularly lights out, going 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA, 1.048 WHIP and 20.6 percent strikeout rate.

He'll open up the week going against a struggling Minnesota squad that is slashing .214/.296/.377 while averaging 3.8 runs per game over their last 10 games. The Twins are hitting slightly worse this year at home (.238/.316/.428) than on the road (.246/.315/.424), and they are also hitting slightly worse against right-handed pitching (.240/.317/.427) than they are against lefties (.247/.313/.423). The one slight disadvantage Quantrill will have is that he has pitched worse on the road (3.60 ERA, 1.350 WHIP) than at home (2.81 ERA, 1.145 WHIP) this year, however his numbers on the road are still very solid and shouldn't scare managers off from this outing.

Then he'll close out the week against another struggling offense in the Angels. Over their last 10 games, Los Angeles is slashing .217/.289/.324 and averaging 3.6 runs per game. They're putting up nearly identical numbers against both right-handers and left-handers, but Quantrill should be able to take advantage of the fact that the Angels are hitting significantly worse on the road (.239/.297/.390) than at home (.264/.328/.455). And as mentioned before, Quantrill is pitching better in Cleveland, making this a nice matchup for him.

This is a nice pair of matchups against a couple of struggling offenses for Quantrill. And given how well he's pitched recently, this should be an excellent week to use him as a two-start streamer.
