BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon has been pitching very well lately and is worth adding in all standard leagues.
Since June 11, Taillon has made four starts and posted a strong 2.16 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 4:23 BB:K ratio in 25 innings of work.
His best outing in this stretch was on June 22, where Taillon held the red-hot New York Mets to just one run across seven frames. He allowed six hits, no walks, and struck out a season-high 10 batters.

Overall on the season, the 32-year-old right-hander carries a 3.03 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and a 17:58 BB:K ratio.
Under the hood, he has done very well in limiting hard contact with an above-average 35.0% hard-hit rate, which is a good sign going forward.
While Taillon may not be given many opportunities to win pitching on a slumping Cubs team, he should provide solid ratios while averaging around a strikeout per inning.
