Nathan Eovaldi (NYY, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I liked what I saw last time out from Nathan Eovaldi. We all know about the big fastball.

Evan Gattis (HOU, OF/C) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Astros have been playing Evan Gattis as a backstop more lately. If he gains catcher eligibility, his value skyrockets.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Considering how often Nomar Mazara's name is mentioned in the national baseball media, it's surprising that the rookie is not more widely owned.

Rajai Davis (OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: For the most part, Rajai Davis is doing what he's always done.
