Kevin Gausman (SP, SF) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kevin Gausman has gone under the radar somewhat in 2020 which isn't too surprising given he's got a 4.05 ERA and has a 0-1 record in four appearances (three starts).

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a promising 2019 campaign, Dominic Smith gathered a fair bit of buzz throughout spring drafts.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~145 ANALYSIS: Jalen Reagor is currently an average player in terms of ROI.
