BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ and AL-Only Leagues
OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Toronto Blue Jays are scoring boatloads of runs these days and owning any of the Blue Jays pitching staff can be quite beneficial. Marco Estrada is proving that he is not only not an exception to the rule but that his stats are backing up his uptick in ownership.
In his last three starts, Estrada has racked up 14 K in 18.2 IP while walking only five batters during that stretch. He has also limited the long ball merely giving up three in his last 10 starts. In fact his 0.84 HR/9 is the lowest it has been since his days in AAA with Milwaukee back in 2010.
If he can continue his trend of limiting the longball and lowering his FIP to reasonable levels, Estrada will be a W and QS juggernaut along with the rest of the Blue Jays staff.
The BABIP is at .243 and his .211 BAA should continue to gradually go down with his effectiveness and confidence of a high producing lineup at his disposal.
Toronto is on the war path to the playoffs and grabbing Estrada should be a great play for those on that same voyage towards the fantasy playoffs.
