BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Don't let the 4.29 ERA fool you, Gutierrez has been quite good in his debut season with the Reds. A pair of rough starts against the Padres have inflated his numbers, but outside of those two outings, Gutierrez owns a 2.85 ERA and 1.220 WHIP over 41 innings. He'll kick off the week against the Mets, where he'll benefit from the fact that they are hitting worse against right-handers (.227/.307/.366) than left-handers (.235/.318/.381). Gutierrez could face some struggles in that outing though, as he's pitched worse at home (5.71 ERA, 1.500 WHIP) than on the road (3.55 ERA, 1.273 WHIP).
In his second start of the week, he'll face the Cardinals for the second time this season after limiting them to two runs over five innings to earn his first career win on June 3. Once again he'll benefit from the Cardinals hitting worse against right-handers (.230/.300/.377) than against left-handers (.234/.313/.391), and this time he'll benefit from the face St. Louis is hitting far worse on the road (.219/.293/.381) than at home (.245/.314/.378).
Gutierrez isn't going to provide much strikeout value, as he only has a 16.5 percent strikeout rate on the year. But he should be able to provide a boost to ERA and WHIP, and he should be in line for at least one win, if not two.
