Chase Anderson (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 53% Yahoo!

ANALYSIS: Chase Anderson has spun three consecutive gems, tossing 21.2 scoreless innings with 22 strikeouts over that span. He is inducing weaker contact than ever before, and has posted a 21.8 percent strikeout rate and a 6.4 HR/FB— both career highs. The 29-year-old has been particularly dominant at home (1.69), and his road numbers are inflated by one dreadful performance against the Cubs in May. A 4.31 xFIP indicates there may be some regression in Anderson’s future, but it’s worth riding the hot hand in NL-Only and deeper mixed leagues. A tough test in Arizona awaits, but should he find success in that start, Anderson will become a must-own in just about all formats heading into juicy home meetings with the Padres and Pirates.
