BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Texas Rangers are making a desperate push for the playoffs and having as many young healthy horses in their stable will be key to that playoff run becoming a reality.
Martin Perez had missed most of this season recovering from Tommy John surgery and was a mid-season buy low candidate. He scared a lot of owners away giving up 8 ER in 1 IP vs New York on July 28th. Since that start he has 20.1 IP, 12 K, 2 BB, 5 ER and 3 QS. This is the guy the Rangers were counting on!
Perez has a 5.29 ERA since his return but his FIP is at 2.98 so his blowup vs New York is currently an aberration and not the norm going forward. The K/9 are at an all-time low of 4.73 but his BB/9 are also at his MLB lowest 2.23 in 2015.
His WHIP of 1.45 must come down to solidify his spot as a main stream pickup but if he continues winning, getting QS and keeping his playoff hopeful team alive then he should be a decent play for those fantasy owners trying to accomplish the same thing.
