Erasmo Ramirez (TB, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: In case you haven't noticed, Erasmo Ramirez has been on quite a tear lately -- he is ranked 33, 81 and 85 over the last 30, 14 and 7 days. Over the last 30 days, he has a ridiculous 1.01 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, three wins, and 22 K over 26 2/3 IP. It gets better though. Since May 14th, he's only allowed more than three earned runs once (over a span of 11 starts). And over that same two month stretch, he's given up zero or one earned run in eight of the 11 starts. That's quite a run he's on. His walks are still a bit high for the season, although much improved recently, so we can't realistically expect this type of dominance for the entire second half. But at the same time, Ramirez needs to be owned in just about all fantasy baseball leagues. He's only 28% owned right now, which is crazy low, so hit that waiver wire and shore up the back end of your pitching rotation for the second half.
