Wily Peralta (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 + Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: Peralta scared off most owners with his inconsistent start to 2015 and saw his ownership rate drop into the 20s. After three consecutive quality starts, I think it’s time owners give him a second chance. Peralta was fantastic his last time out vs a tough LAD lineup, going eight innings allowing two runs with six strikeouts and zero walks. His line drive rate has not changed from 2014 which tells me his .328 BABIP is due for improvement. His WHIP has always been a liability but he’s done a good job so far limiting the free passes (1.85 BB/9). He needs to limit the long balls to reach ten team mixed league status, but he makes for a solid streaming option or a backend SP in deep leagues. He has a two-start week coming up vs CHW and @NYM if you need any further convincing.
