Zach Wheeler (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues

ANALYSIS: Zach Wheeler is in his first full season as a starter with the Mets, and he's performing quite nicely. He owns a very respectable 8.7 K/9 rate and has pitched his way to 7 victories thus far. His 3.53 ERA is solid, aided by the fact that he allows less than one HR/9 innings pitched. Looking at Wheeler in terms of Ace Composite Rating (ACR), he currently stands at -1.73, which is better than league average. Wheeler has gone at least six innings in each of his last eight starts, notching wins in four of those games and allowing only 11 ER total in that time. I picked up Wheeler a long time ago in my ten-team league and have been more than happy with his performance thus far. He has the potential and upside to be a top 20 SP down the stretch.
