Patrick Wisdom (1B/3B, CHC) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams

ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Wisdom burst onto the scene following his call-up in late May. He swatted nine home runs over his first 20 games but then promptly hit the skids, going yard just twice over the next 21 contests. It's largely gone under the radar but he's starting to heat up again, homering five times over the last 15 games. Overall, he's got a solid .268/.335/.605 batting line to go along with 16 home runs, 27 RBI, and three stolen bases over 157 at-bats. The Cubs visit the Rockies for a three-game set before hosting the White Sox for another three-game series at Wrigley Field. It should be bombs away at Coors Field as Wisdom will face some favorable pitching matchups.

The Cubs will see four right-handed starters and three southpaws and Wisdom has fared well against both so far this season. He's got a whopping .978 OPS vs. right-handed pitching (102 at-bats) and a rock-solid .868 OPS against lefties (55 at-bats). He's hitting .306 (.259 xBA) against fastballs and .250 (.293 xBA) vs. offspeed pitches and will be facing a handful of arms that rely on a combination of both types of pitches. Kyle FreelandJon Gray (if he's still on the Rockies), Antonio SenzatelaDallas KeuchelDylan Cease, and even Lucas Giolito all look like plus matchups for the 29-year-old slugger. Wisdom is a true power hitter so he's got a lot of swing and miss in his game. His 39.1% strikeout rate is ugly, but he's also sporting a 59.8% hard-hit rate and a 19.5% barrel rate, so when he makes contact, the ball usually travels a long way. He'll surely give you a couple of 0-for-4 performances but he'll pay off as a streamer if he goes yard a few times, which is well within his range of outcomes.
