Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Shocker: Nick Kurtz’s Return and Kyle Teel’s Debut Could Change Everything!
Shane Smith – SP, CWS: 24% rostered
It’s rare you see a pitcher with a 2.45 ERA and 23% strikeout rate across 62 innings be rostered in so few leagues. But I guess that’s what happens when you’re on the White Sox. Smith has slowed a little bit of late, with two poor starts against the Mets and Mariners, but bounced back this week against the Tigers a bit. He has gone six innings only three times this season and has only two wins, so that can make him tough to start, but the ratios and strikeouts have been pretty good these past 6 weeks. Also, just some respect for Smith’s teammate Adrian Houser – SP, CWS (4% rostered), who has a 1.48 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 20 strikeouts in 24.1 innings for the White Sox this season. It’s still Houser, and he pitches for the second-worst team in baseball, so there’s not tons of upside here, but he’s been really good so far.
