BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues
Ownership: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Mike Bolsinger has pitched well through three starts for the Dodgers, owning a 1.04 ERA and 3.47 FIP with two wins. The 27-year-old right-hander finds himself in the rotation thanks to a slew of injuries to his Dodger teammates. Like so many other starters coming up from the minors, his prolonged success will hinge on the development of a third pitch. Right now, he’s got a fastball and curveball that are MLB worthy, but he’ll need to mix it up with a third pitch down the line. He’s a decent strikeout artist but doesn’t work very late into games, which, consequently, could be a saving grace for him. If hitters aren’t able to face him a third time, when we normally see hitters averages shoot up, he may be able to limit the damage and keep his ERA and WHIP low. He’s a good option to add if you’re hurting for pitchers who are guaranteed starts over the next few weeks.
