Vladimir Gutierrez (SP, CIN) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams

ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Gutierrez has been inconsistent at times this year, but over his last 10 outings he's been pretty solid on the mound where he's gone 5-3 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.211 WHIP and 20.2 percent strikeout rate over 53 2/3 innings of work.

He'll open up the week with a rematch against the Pirates, as he looks for revenge after allowing four runs over 3 2/3 innings of work in his last start against Pittsburgh. The Pirates have been hot at the plate over their last 10 games, where they're slashing .277/.370/.405 and averaging 5.1 runs per game. However they are hitting significantly worse on the road (.229/.295/.351) than at home (.242/.319/.376). And while it didn't help much his last time out, Gutierrez should potentially have a slight advantage as Pittsburgh is hitting slightly worse against right-handers (.234/.307/.363) than against lefties (.240/.306/.366).

Closing out Week 26, Gutierrez should have a nice matchup with the Nationals — despite their recent hot streak at the plate that has seen them average 4.9 runs per game and slash .269/.360/.446 over their last 10 games. First off he'll benefit from the fact that the Nationals are hitting worse on the road this year (.250/.329/.404) than at home (.266/.340/.435). And then on top of that, Washington is hitting significantly worse against right-handers (.250/.324/.404, 21.7 K%) than against left-handers (.277/.359/.455, 20.7 K%).

The Pirates and Nationals have been hitting well recently, but Gutierrez should still be able to put up solid value against them based on their splits. If you're willing to take a gamble, Gutierrez should be a good play in most formats this week.
