BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 7% of leagues
ANALYSIS:Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Shelby Miller will make his 2018 debut in a two-start week. He is returning from Tommy John surgery, and has been out of the MLB since April of 2017. Miller will open his 2018 season with a start in Miami against the Marlins after facing the Giants in his second start of the week.
In four minor league rehab starts this season, Miller produced 28 strikeouts in 19 1/3 innings of work. However, he also allowed 10 earned runs during that span (eight earned runs in one outing). On the bright side, he has two pitcher-friendly opponents lined up for Week 13. The Marlins are 29th in runs scored (266 runs in 75 games) and the Giants are fourth in team strikeouts (694) this season.
The former top prospect may be more of a dice throw, but it is one that can pay off. The strikeout potential is there and the Diamondbacks are a good enough team to help Miller get wins as well.
