Unlocking Hidden Strikeout Gold: Why Dylan Cease Could Be Your Fantasy Baseball Game-Changer
Zack Littell, Tampa Bay Rays
Littell is a poor man’s version of Boyd. He doesn’t generate enough strikeouts (6.0 K/9 rate) and is too hittable, which is a result of living inside the strike zone. Still, the lack of walks usually leads to a low WHIP, and this year Littell has turned his impressive 3.3% walk rate into a 1.11 WHIP. Both Boyd and Littell are ERA risks for the stretch run, but they could post an ERA over 4.00 and still help in the WHIP category.
Saves
Will Vest, Detroit Tigers
The Tigers not only have one of the best records in baseball, but also have a favorable schedule for the stretch run, thanks to plenty of series against division opponents below .500. Vest has a modest saves total this year (16), but could skyrocket up that category if his team capitalizes on their schedule and logs several narrow victories. My plan with Vest would be to make a trade offer as soon as the MLB trade deadline passes on Thursday.
