As was the case with the hitters, there are still some pitchers who can help down the stretch – both starters and relievers. This is especially the case if you only need to focus on certain categories.
As I did with the hitters, I pulled pitching stats since the All-Star break and filtered out players with ownership over 50% per FantasyPros. The starters were divided into 3 groups:
- Multi-category Helpers
- Strikeout Kings
- ERA & WHIP Drivers
In addition to their stats, I looked at the upcoming schedules for the starters in the ERA & WHIP category and filtered out those with difficult matchups ahead.
Below are these starting groups along with the best bets for finding Saves on the waiver wire going forward.
