Lucas Giolito (CWS, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 23% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito is not a waiver wire pickup just yet, as the former top prospect is slated to face the Red Sox next, but then the schedule loosens up. He is set for games against the Tigers and the Royals after that, both opportunities for Giolito to thrive. These are the same Tigers that he has shut down in two of his last three starts, with the third being a quality-start win against the Twins.

It hass been three wins and three QS in a row for Giolito, who has also struck out at least six in each of his last five starts. Do note that all three W/QSs have come on the road and that next Tigers start is at home, where he has been hot garbage (8.18 ERA, 4.27 ERA on the road), but the Royals start is in KC at least!
