Robbie Ray (SP, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in NL-Only Leagues

OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Well, no one can say that the guy doesn’t make for some exciting baseball. Robbie Ray was able to get over the hump of dealing with three unearned runs in the first inning on Saturday to strike out a season-high 10 batters (he gave up three earned later). His strikeout upside is incredible, but the hurler also gets hit very hard when contact is made, leading to a high .362 BABIP on the season. Strikeouts are simply one piece of the puzzle, though it does give him some serious intrigue as a streamer against teams that can really generate the whiffs. He’ll head to Milwaukee to face the Brewers on July 28 next.
