Marco Gonzales (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 19% of leagues

ANALYSIS:  Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales has made three straight starts without allowing an earned run and now has a 2.41 ERA/1.26 WHIP over the last 30 days. This has rejuvenated his ownership lately, but he has also been extremely lucky over that time period.

Gonzales has a 12-to-7 strikeout-to-walk ratio with a 4.53 SIERA over the last 30 days. After being all too hittable and opening the season with a .405 BABIP, he has posted a .204 BABIP over these last three trips to the hill. He has admittedly dialed down the liners surrendered, and cut his hard-hit rate down from a horrid 39% in those first eight outings down to 16.7% over the last three starts, but this came without any real change in his arsenal or noticeable uptick in whiffs then.

You can understand the adding craze considering his great numbers, but only take the chance on his tightrope command act in deeper leagues.
