Ryan McMahon (1B, 2B, 3B, COL) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 22% of Yahoo! leagues

ANALYSIS: 

The Rockies have been away from Coors Field, and Ryan McMahon has been raking. Over his last nine games, McMahon has accounted for 9 hits, 8 RBI’s, and three home runs. He’ll now get to go back to Coors Field for two home series, and then back again for another two after a short road stint. That’s five of the next seven series in Coors Field.

It’s never a bad idea to stream hitters in Coors Field, and a hitter getting hot that’s going to have five series in Colorado seems like a good idea. McMahon is available in most leagues and is guy I will be all over this week. The RBI opportunities will be plentiful and he’s shown us recently how capable he is of coming through. When you combine everything above with being eligible at three different positions, I don’t see the downside in picking up McMahon.
