Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only leagues

OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Oblique injuries can be quite pesky, but before suffering one, Anthony DeSclafani was looked at as a fun sleeper type. He’ll be back at some point in April and hopefully finds the same success with his sinker and slider that he did later on last season. The Reds won’t back him with many wins, but he could be a sneaky candidate for strikeouts and strong ratios. Don’t be fooled by the ugly second half numbers, his FIP actually shrunk from 3.85 to 3.46 and his strikeout rate jumped from 6.59 to 8.28 while the walk rate dropped from 3.65 to 1.51.
