Touki Toussaint (ATL, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 11% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Touki Toussaint will get another chance against the Marlins on Thursday, as the rookie swiftly sees another opportunity to start in the bigs. He cruised through six innings in his debut against the fish and should not be viewed any less favorably in this spot.

Our hope is to see more than six swinging strikes on 82 pitches and perhaps some clear pitch-mixing changes compared to his first outing. While he only struck out four batters in six innings in his first start, remember that Toussaint had 149 strikeouts in 123 1/3 minor league innings this season.

Even if he does not have his strikeout pitch working, we will still want to stream him for this matchup. While we suggest him in deeper leagues, he could still be a decent matchup play in more shallow leagues and is a player to hold in dynasty/keeper formats.
