BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: If you take away a pair of awful outings against the Houston Astros, Graven has been quietly excellent this season. Since making his return to the A’s rotation on May 23, he’s 2-2 with a 2.27 ERA with 30 strikeouts and just nine walks in 39 and two-thirds innings. The most encouraging sign during that stretch (aside from an increase in strikeouts) is the 50% ground ball rate during that span. As a command and control artist who lacks overpowering stuff, he’s always going to struggle with home run issues, but he’s in the perfect situation to cover up that weakness in Oakland. Owned in just 11% of Yahoo leagues, Graveman is an under the radar option for fantasy owners to consider adding to the mix.
