BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues
OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Josh Tomlin's career numbers have been nothing short of abysmal and yet owners should truly take a look at what Tomlin has done to keep Cleveland and his career afloat.
Tomlin has been on fire as of late spinning 16 innings with only three earned runs, 14 punchouts, one walk and 10 hits in his past two starts. The impressiveness does not stop at his recent success. Tomlin's LOB% is at a staggering 98.7% with a BABIP of .170 and an ERA of 2.55. The FIP of 4.16 is a bit concerning for long term success but for now Tomlin has been a pleasant sight for the Indians.
The BB/9 of 0.76 to go along with his 8.15 K/9 is equally impressive as well and should be taken as a sign to strike while the iron is hot. Tomlin is going to have some favorable matchups coming up and owners should jump at the chance that he is still sitting on the waiver wire ripe for the taking. Unless streaming pitching is the norm in your fantasy league acquiring reliable pitching for the postseason is key to success.
Much like in any fantasy arena, working the waiver wire when you want to and not when you have to is a symbol of an owner with lots of trophies to show off. Make Tomlin help you get another one.
