BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 6% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Sam Gaviglio has had his up and downs all year, as he has struggled to string together two solid performances in 2018. That trend will likely continue this week with Gaviglio first facing the Rays at home and then the Indians at home. Gaviglio will see the Rays in the first game of the week. Tampa Bay is 22nd in runs scored (564 runs in 134 games) and 23rd in team wOBA (.311) against right-handed pitchers this season.
Then, there’s game two, against Cleveland. The Indians are 4th in team wOBA (.336) against righties, third in runs scored (679 runs in 134 games), and 30th in team strikeouts (976) in 2018. Gaviglio has struck out at least seven batters in three of the past five games and allowed three earned runs, or less, during that same span. He is a decent play as a two start pitcher in deeper leagues, but watch out for the start against Cleveland.
