BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues
ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
Chirinos has a 2.60 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 34 innings for the Rays this year, but I'm afraid his bubble is going to burst eventually. Chirinos has just an 11% strikeout percentage and is mostly getting by on luck as evidenced by his .181 BABIP allowed and 80% left on-base percentage. His xFIP is nearly three runs higher than his ERA at 5.40.
He has pitched better than his xFIP throughout his career, though, as he has a career 3.42 ERA and a career 4.36 xFIP. Still, the gap is likely going to close on those numbers over the rest of the season. Chirinos is still a viable option this week as he has two starts including a road matchup with the offensively challenged Oakland Athletics.
