ANALYSIS: Brent Suter isn’t going to blow anyone away with his velocity, but owns an unorthodox delivery and is currently 1-0 on the young season after holding the Padres to three runs over five innings of work on Saturday. I realize the 5.40 ERA isn’t impressive, but Milwaukee just made Zach Davies a 17-game winner last year and though I feel Suter would be best used as a multi-inning reliever, his opportunity here makes him a worthy add. The career 6.9 K/9 won’t help you much, but the career 3.49 ERA, 2.33 BB/9 and a solid 0.88 HR/9 mark from last season do paint him as a useful arm. I would keep expectations tempered, but he should be a good matchup play if Milwaukee yanks him before hitters get a third look at him (9.49 ERA third time through the order).
