5 years agoChicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito has a 0.93 ERA in his last three starts but faces a difficult Houston Astros lineup on Thursday night. During this recent run from Giolito, one start against Cleveland followed by two against Toronto, he has gone 3-0 and allowed just 10 hits and six walks in 19 1/3 innings, with 20 strikeouts. In standard leagues, it's probably best to leave him on the bench and get a better read on how real Giolito's improvements are. With such a small late DFS slate, however, it may be worth taking a shot on the hot streak. Watch for the lineup Houston puts out; if some regulars sit, Giolito becomes a much better play.--Nathaniel Green
