Travis Wood (SP, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-only leagues and Deeper Leagues.

OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: After 2014, Travis Wood might've looked like a one hit wonder. Last season Wood had a 5.03 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP, a 4.38 FIP, a 7.6 K/9, and a putrid 3.9 BB/9. Wood had a BABIP of .324, which indicated he was being hit hard and often.

Wood has changed things up in 2015, to the tune of a 3.04 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP, an exceptional FIP of 3.35, an eye popping 9.9 K/9, and a much improved 2.3 BB/9. Wood is even out-performing his 2013 All-Star season in which he had a 3.11 ERA, a 1.145 WHIP, a 3.89 FIP, a 6.5 K/9, and a 3.0 BB/9.

With Kris BryantJorge Soler, Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro, the massively improved offense of the Cubs will help Wood win more games. Wood has a record of 2-1 this season behind an average of 5.6 runs of run support per start, as opposed to last year's run support mark of 4.7. In Wood's All-Star season, he received only three runs in support per start and was still able to pick up nine wins.

Travis Wood has improved his game in many ways, and there is potential for nice strikeouts, ratios and wins in 2015.  You can add Wood with the confidence that he will be even better and more reliable than his All-Star 2013.
