Jed Lowrie (HOU, SS/3B) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 12.1% of ESPN Leagues

ANALYSIS: I’ve been talking him up since March, and here’s my last-ditch effort. Lowrie has above-average power for a shortstop, and he is still hitting in the thick of a potent Astros lineup. He had a modest six-game hitting streak prior to going 0-5 the other day, and he likely isn’t going to kill your average or strike out a bunch. He has nine home runs in just 212 at-bats this season,. If you’re desperate, I’d toss the dice and hope for a big fly or two.
