Jorge Lopez (KC, SP/RP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 4% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Kansas City Royals pitcher Pablo Lopez captivated the baseball world by coming within three outs of perfection on Sept. 8 against the Twins, ultimately settling for the win and one earned run over eight-plus innings.

This was his follow-up performance to tossing seven innings of one-run ball against the Orioles on Sept. 2, when he struck out eight Baltimore birdies. He gets a rematch against the Twins next on Sept. 14 as he looks to make right on the bid for perfection. Given his strong run of play, and pedigree as a decent prospect for the Brewers, he is worth a stream in playoff matchups.
