Fantasy Baseball: Top low-owned pitchers to target in Week 7
Finding the perfect pitcher to add to your Fantasy baseball team can be the difference between winning your league or going home with nothing. And before you determine which low-owned pitchers you should target heading into Week 7, you absolutely need to see what Fantasy analyst Jeff Zimmerman has to say.
Zimmerman has written at FanGraphs, Hardball Times, RotoWire, ESPN, Baseball America, and Beyond the Boxscore. He has won several FSTA awards including Best Baseball Series and Football Writer of the Year. He's participated in Tout Wars and won it twice (15-mixed auction and 12-team H2H). Along with Tanner Bell, he just published the first edition of "The Process", a complete guide for running your own fantasy baseball start-to-finish. If there's anybody who knows what it takes to win a league, it's him.
Now, he's done an in-depth analysis of the best low-owned starting pitchers entering Week 7. One we'll give away: Indians starter Jefry Rodriguez, who's only owned in 23 percent of CBS Sports leagues.
"The Indians starter is scheduled for two games this week when he faces the White Sox (vs Lucas Giolito) at home and Oakland (vs Mike Fiers) on the road," Zimmerman said. "The 25-year-old righty will turn some heads with his 95-mph fastballs and 2.13 ERA. Starting with his fastballs, he has a four-seam and sinker. So far in this short season, the sinker has a 5% swinging-strike rate (SwStr%) and only 2% SwStr% for the four-seamer. Additionally, the sinker really sinks with a 71% GB% while the four-seam is at 57%. While 57% is still good, 72% is near elite and will help limit the home runs he allows, generate double plays, and keep his ERA under his ERA estimators."
Zimmerman has also identified which pitchers you should target if your teams needs a jolt, including a player who's available in over 90 percent of leagues.
