Tyler White (1B, HOU) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 46% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Houston Astros first baseman Tyler White has supposedly struggled the last couple of weeks, at least for our liking. During that time he hit three homers and 13 RBI with a .265 batting average. If nothing else, he has demonstrated he is human and will have stretches where he won't have super-elite production. Of course, when looking at the underlying stats you notice that he had a BABIP of .243, meaning he isn’t underperforming as much as we thought. To support that he still has a lowly 13.7% strikeout rate and is still smashing the ball with a .489 slugging. Regardless, this production is still tremendously better than most first baseman manning the position on fantasy rosters. As such, he should be owned in more leagues.

White should look to continue his solid production this week with a semi-favorable schedule. He will start the week on the road in Detroit before returning home to face the Diamondbacks. White faces three left-handed pitchers and three righties this week, which is no issue as he is hitting .319 and .284 against them, respectively
