Owned in: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues
Baller Move: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
Analysis: Before the 2017 season, 29-year old Brad Peacock held a 4.57 ERA and 7.9 K/9 for his five year career. This season, his fifth in Houston, he has exploded for an ERA of 2.82 and K/9 of 13.3, both of which are looking to be the products of legitimate high level performance. Peacock doesn't have the required amount of starts to currently qualify for the leaderboard, but his FIP of 2.21 would currently rank second in the American League behind only Chris Sale and his awe-inspiring K/9 would rank first overall. Peacock looks to be as safe of an emergent option as could be available; as he has lowered his HR% to 0.5%, XBH% to 4.9%. He should be owned across the board at this point in 12 team leagues.
