BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 24% of leagues
ANALYSIS: As one might expect from a team that's emerged victorious in just seven of 22 games thus far, the Mariners don't find themselves with a ton of save opportunities. However, three of the five they've had so far have gone to Taylor Williams. While the 29-year-old doesn't have much of a track record of MLB success, he's nailed down the victory whenever called upon and has struck out 10 batters in 7.2 innings of work. The 4.70 ERA isn't ideal, but three of the four runs he's allowed came in one appearance.
Closers have been even more of a minefield in this unprecedented season than usual, so anybody who can string a few saves together is worthy of roster consideration. 23 pitchers have at least three saves to this point, and Williams is one of just two that are under 50% owned right now.
