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 the tough lineup, he was fourth in the league among qualified SPs in SwStr5 at 17.0%:
The most important thing of all is that he has now pushed his K-BB% above 20% for the season, and there's just no reason to leave pitchers that boast a K-BB% like that on waivers in this environment. There will not be many wins to be had for Sears on the Athletics, but he appears to be more than just a mediocre pitcher on a run of hot starts.
