David Hess (BAL, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher David Hess being on a waiver wire list shows how deep you need to dive this late in the season. Would you believe that Hess has delivered three straight quality starts and gets to face the Royals in pitcher-friendly Kauffman Stadium next? Well, believe it!

Now, Hess put together a similar three-start stretch back in late May, only to fall apart with at least five earned surrendered in each of his next four starts, so please believe this is risky. However, the Royals are the Royals and Hess has the opportunity to post another solid outing. The longball is his major undoing (1.85 HR/9) and KC is one of five teams with fewer than 120 homers hit this season; our hope is that it is a match made in heaven.
