Adam Wainwright (SP, STL) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Adam Wainwright will turn 40 in August, but he continues to find ways to get major-league hitters out on a consistent basis. In 12 starts covering 73.2 innings, the veteran has a respectable 4.03 ERA and 1.14 WHIP along with 67 strikeouts. 21 of the 33 runs he's allowed came in just four of those appearances and while we can't just hand-wave them away, the occasional clunker has partially obscured the best work we've seen from Wainwright since his early 2010s heyday.

He's also got a pretty favorable schedule for the rest of June, with the light-hitting Marlins, Pirates, and Diamondbacks on the docket along with the underachieving Braves. Feel free to turn the clock back a decade and roster Wainwright in all but the shallowest formats.
