Junis is a top Waiver Add
Jake Junis, the Kansas City Royals starting pitcher is soaring on the waiver wire today and is currently sitting in the top position for the day. For the season, he has a 1.93 ERA, 16/4 K/BB, 7.7 K/9, and a .80 WHIP.
He started the season with two solid starts, pitching 7 innings and giving up no runs while throwing 90 pitches or less. Then his outing on April 14th happened in which he only managed 4.2 innings and gave up 4 earned runs while striking out a season-high 7 batters.
Tonight will be a good test for Junis against the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers are 8-9 on the season and are ranked 18th in offense based on fantasy points. All signs point to the Tigers being an "average" team, so we would hope to see him have a bounce-back game.
We currently have Junis projected to have a 3.45 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 4.6 strikeouts with a 50% chance of a win and a 40% chance of a quality start.
Junis is available in 69% of fantasy leagues and is worth a roster spot, especially before tonight's game. If he has another good outing, chances are you may miss out.
