BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues
OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jon Niese has been a part of one of the top rotations in baseball, and on a roll over his last few starts. Unfortunately for all of those streaming Niese, he is being supported by the second worst run scoring offense in MLB. Niese currently only receives 3.00 average runs in support per start from the Mets offense, which is tied for the ninth worst in baseball and this is also why Niese is tied for fourth in baseball with four tough losses. In short, Niese's performance warrants more rewards than he has received. Niese started off the season on a great note, with a 2.74 ERA in March/April. Niese had his struggles in May with a 5.56 ERA, but recovered in June with an ERA of 3.00 and had a great first start in July; going eight innings allowing three hits, two walks, and zero earned runs. There have been talks of the Mets either trading Niese to the Dodgers or Cubs, or bringing some higher powered bats to New York. If Niese finds a home with a better run scoring team, or the Mets improve their own offense, fantasy baseball managers should stream Niese with the expectation that his solid performance finally earns some wins.
