BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 31% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito is a 10-10 pitcher with a 5.85 ERA, but he is a good addition for the first playoff week. Lately, he has allowed one earned run in two of the past three games and struck out 17 batters in the past 14 2/3 innings of action.
This week, the Royals and Orioles are on the schedule for Giolito. Both clubs are in the bottom four in terms of runs scored this season and Baltimore is 10th in team strikeouts (Kansas City is 24th). Giolito’s opponents for this week are also in the bottom six when it comes to team wOBA against right-handed pitchers. Kansas City is 25th (.306 wOBA) and Baltimore is 28th (.205 wOBA).
