BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 9% of leagues
ANALYSIS: San Diego Padres starting pitcher Clayton Richard may have a 4.74 ERA, but he has allowed only two earned runs in three of his last four starts. His latest outing was against a team Richard will face in Week 10, the Marlins.
He pitched seven innings and struck out five Fish last week, while allowing two earned runs on four hits. As for his first opponent this week, the Braves, Richard will have the pleasure of pitching at home in that contest. This season, Richard is 1-3 at Petco Park, but has a 3.86 ERA (6.26 ERA on the road).
It may be a little risky to start Richard on the road (where he will face the Marlins), but his strong start against Miami last week should make him a viable two-start pitcher. He may not be the best player to pick up in shallower leagues, but is a good option for Week 10 in deeper leagues.
