Erasmo Ramirez (SEA, SP/RP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Seattle Mariners pitcher Erasmo Ramirez has been in and out of the Mariners rotation over the last few years, but he is back starting for the Mariners and thriving. Since rejoining Seattle’s rotation on Aug. 12, Ramirez has allowed two earned runs over 16 innings across three starts. He is still not a big strikeout guy -- he has rung up 12 in those 16 frames -- but he has not allowed a homer in any of these August tilts.

For context, he had surrendered seven moonshots in his first, and only other two, starts of 2018. He faces the power-light Padres on Wednesday and then would line up to face Baltimore at home after that. These are not bad outings for the righty and the Mariners will probably help him out with wins as well. Ramirez does not kill your ratios, plays for a good team, and is available basically everywhere.
