BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams
ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Gant is a bit of a stretch this week, but he's been looking better over his last two starts where he's allowed two runs on six hits and four walks while striking out 12 over 10 innings of work. He'll try to keep things rolling on Monday, when he faces off against a slumping Yankees squad that is slashing .210/.285/.314 and averaging 3.4 runs per game over their last 10 games. He should benefit from New York's splits, as the Yankees are hitting worse at home this year (.231/.325/.389) and they're also hitting worse against right-handers (.229/.316/.398). He'll have a much tougher matchup when he faces Toronto, as they are slashing .272/.367/.545 and averaging 6.4 runs per game over their last 10 games. They're also hitting much better against right-handed pitchers (.260/.324/.455) and at home (.272/.337/.484) this year — which are both marks against Gant.
Managers who are willing to gamble on the outcome of that Blue Jays matchup should strongly consider Gant in deeper formats this week. That outing with the Yankees should end up providing some solid fantasy value for managers, and if he can get through Toronto relatively unscathed, he could be a nice play this week.
