Ryon Healy (1B/3B, SEA) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 42% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Seattle Mariners infielder Ryon Healy has had a roller coaster season and the roller coaster of production is riding at a high point for Healy in recent weeks. Over the last seven days, Healy is hitting .360 with four home runs, five runs scored, and five RBI.

Unfortunately for those looking at Healy, his opponents this week are the Yankees and Red Sox. In total, he will face-off against right-handers five out of six matchups this week. Healy is better facing right-handed pitchers, with a .262 batting average against them. While his .485 SLG is inviting, Healy’s .289 OBP might deter individuals in on-base leagues from acquiring him.

However, his .231 ISO and particularly his 13 homers in 208 plate appearances is primarily why you want to own him. If you are a gambler and think his hot streak will outweigh the matchups coming up, then Healy is the obvious choice for power.
