BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 21% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove has struck out at least five batters in seven of his eight starts in 2018. In his last outing, on July 10 against the Nationals, he struck out a season-high nine batters in just five innings while allowing two earned runs. He will face the Brewers today and, pending today's start, Musgrove will be a strong player to add.
Unfortunately, he will have the tough task of facing the Indians in Cleveland after the All-Star break. It might not be bright to roster Musgrove for that start, but, if you have limited moves, it is worth it for the second start. On the bright side, he will also likely see the Mets in Week 16. The NL’s New York team is 22nd in team wOBA (.313) against right-handed pitchers and 27th in runs scored (351 runs in 91 games) this season.
