I'm going to throw some pretty ridiculous stats your way about Luis Perdomo after his startling 6.0 IP, 3 ER, 5 Hits, 0 BBs, 9 Ks start tonight against the Brewers: He's holding a 70.5% groundball rate (1st in majors), with a .292 FIP and 2.90 xFIP, backed up by a 8.91 K/9 and a 2.62 BB/9. I'm sure you see his 4.19 ERA and shy away, but that FIP/xFIP can be real given his horrible 65.6% LOB rate and .344 BABIP. Entering tonight's game, he had allowed just 20.7% hard contact. If you're not familiar with Perdomo, he hurls heavy 94.6mph Two-Seamers and bumped his Curveball rate from 23.6% to 34.8% this season at the cost of his Changeup and for good reason: he's getting plenty more whiffs with the deuce, raising its whiff rate from 15.3% to 22.6%. The whole package makes out an arm you need to chase in a 12-teamer and while I prefer Wood and Karns (Perdomo doesn't have a third pitch making me question how deep he can go in games as he holds an IPS under 6.0), I would want to see if Perdomo can perform to his FIP/xFIP and keep the same K/BB numbers. There's plenty of value to be had here and I have to say, it's fun watching Trevor Cahill and Perdomo fight to earn the MFRSDPSPA.

    Glad you pointed out that you like Karns and Wood more than Perdomo. Didn’t wanna do anything rash.

    I am in a 12 team H2H points league and was offered Miggy for my Tanaka. What do you think of that trade? I believe Tanaka has a k rate below his career norm this year and hasn’t been that wonderful for me besides his complete game shoutout. But I am also concerned about what may be a lingering injury for miggy. Thanks in advance!

  3. Joel Ramsey says:

    After last night’s start, do you like Perdomo more than Biagini or Godley ROS? Or do you still see it as Godley/Biagini/Perdomo?

    Would you start Ritchie Hill today?

    • Nick Pollack says:

      DLH is in effect, depends on how my week looks.

      I want to say start him but I’ve learned in my day not to question DLH (Manaea…)

    So I have quimtana, Salazar, shoemaker, berries, goodley, and Eduardo Rodriguez. Karn, perdomo are available on the waiver. Would you drop anyone to pick up either of those two?

  6. nick g says:

    any idea what was up with archer last night? sure, there will always be off nights (and i wouldn’t dream of selling after the 2 prior performances), but did you see anything that was cause for concern going forward?

    • nick g says:

      follow up–would it be worth dropping marwin gonzalez for a flier on biagini to try to correct the era/whip categories due to archer’s start? alternatively, i could get rid of graveman–i know you’re not hot on him

    Cutting ties on Eickhoff today after I see if Rich Hill drinks a bottle of blisterine. If Hill can throw more than 1 curveball without all the skin sliding off of his hand, I’m going with him. If not: Godley or Urias? (Points league with a big emphasis on Ks)

  8. Jamie S says:

    Would you move Zimmer and C. Anderson for Hader and Godley in a 30 team H2H Points dynasty league? got Ian Happ in the wings as well and figured that makes Zimmer expendable.
