Kevin Gausman (BAL, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: The young fireballer for the O's has started to put everything together of late. In his last 40 innings, he's only allowed 16 earned runs. Aside from the bomb he gave up to Miguel Sano on Sunday, he was lights out the rest of the afternoon.

His home/road splits are interesting as he has an ERA of 2.19 at home and a WHIP of 0.89. Given that Camden Yards is a hitters' park, that's very impressive. On the road though, he has a 6.44 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP. Based on recent outings, I think those road numbers will improve a bit. His 4 to 1 K/BB ratio is very solid as well so he won't kill your WHIP and he can help rack up strikeouts for your team.

He's only gotten one win in his last six starts. Given the fact that Baltimore has been hitting better of late, Gausman should receive much more run support. Now he just needs the bullpen to hold it down and he can be a pretty serviceable pitcher  down the stretch.
