Patrick Corbin(SP-ARI): Patrick Corbin won after allowing one run on four hits (one homer) and two walks with six strikeouts over eight innings against the Mets. Corbin induced 13 groundouts in another solid performance to even his mark at 11-11 and bring his season ERA to 4.09 with a 146:43 K:BB ratio over 152 innings. He has allowed more than three earned runs once in his last 12 starts and has been pitching better on the road as of late as well. Opponents are mustering a .202 AVG on his slider, a pitch he has thrown more than any other in his arsenal (including his fastball). He's back and can be trusted as a number four option in standard formats.
Jarrett Parker(OF-SF): Jarrett Parker went 0-for-5 with a strikeout vs. the Brewers. The left-hander has seen regular at-bats in the three-hole since returning from a broken clavicle at the beginning of August and he has hit safely in 14 of 18 games. While many may see his strikeout rate and run the other way, I see great potential in Parker with his 20 percent chase rate and improving approach against left-handed pitching. He displayed power/speed potential in the upper minors, and I believe that all the 28-year-old needs is a chance to grow at the MLB level. He's getting that chance now.
Yangervis Solarte(INF-SD): Yangervis Solarte went 3-for-5 with a homer, two doubles and six RBIs against the Cardinals. After battling injuries to begin the second half, Solarte looks to be settling in, hitting two homers over his last three games to move his season line to .270/.341/.439. His blend of contact (85.7 percent) and power (31 percent hard contact, 42 percent fly ball rate) should enable him to post solid AVG and HR numbers down the stretch (he's also due for positive regression in both his HR/FB rate and his BABIP!) Add in the multi-position eligibility and you have a sneaky add in the majority of mixed leagues.
Matt Wieters(C-WAS): Matt Wieters went 1-for-3 with a two run homer, two runs and one walk against the Astros. The 31-year-old is in the midst of his worst offensive season, posting a .280 wOBA and a 67 wRC+ over 373 plate appearances. Nine homers just aren't going to cut it in our current offensive environment. However, I do see hope for Wieters, both for down the stretch and next season. He has had to adjust to an entirely new league and a different pitching staff, especially one that has been in flux with a myriad of injuries. He has also been unlucky with a .267 BABIP while improving his plate discipline across the board. Catchers go through these offensive fluctuations (see Yadier Molina), and I see Wieters as a man to watch heading into drafts as a potentially huge bargain in two catcher leagues.
Zack Godley(SP-ARI): Zack Godley, who is set to take on the Mets at CITI Field today, has allowed a .297 wOBA on the road with a 66:15 K:BB ratio over 61 2/3 innings. He gets nice park shift, as Citi ranks 26th on overall Park Factors for the season, and he'll get at Mets lineup that, although it's 14th in overall offense against right handers, is filled with prospects trying to find their way against Major League pitching. I see Godley with a great opportunity to rack up the strikeouts and pitch deeply into the game today, and at $8800 on FanDuel, he could give a nice ROI on a night where the top options each carry their own risk.
