Fantasy Baseball 2019 Week 10 Waiver Wire Adds

Here are a few names to target off the waiver wire if you want to improve your fantasy baseball roster for Week 10.

The fantasy baseball, and regular, season is two months old. I recapped the first round picks and where they stand at this point (here). But the season rolls on. Week 10 is underway with just four games on Monday’s slate.

As the weather heats up, the Fantasy Baseball waiver wire pool dries up. With injuries, player performances and hot streaks, fantasy owners continue to make moves to improve their rosters as they compete for a championship.

For this weekly list, I included two hitters and two starting pitchers. These players are all owned in less than 20 percent of ESPN leagues. This gives the majority of fantasy owners an opportunity to add at least one of these players to their team.

I promise not to bring up Renato Nunez again (but you should pick him up). Here are my top waiver wire adds for Week 10.

Sandy Alcantara

Alcantara is either really good or really bad when he takes the mound. Over his last six starts, he’s given up the following runs: 0, 4, 0, 4, 3 and 4. He is 1-3 with two quality starts in that span.

His strikeout-to-walk ratio is not ideal, 41:31 on the season. If you have a good lead in WHIP, then you can take a chance on Alcantara.

Alcantara makes his next start on Wednesday in Miller Park against the Brewers. I would not want to start him in that game, but add him and bench him for future Fantasy Baseball use.

Bryan Reynolds

With Lonnie Chisenhall and Corey Dickerson on the IL, Reynolds has been getting more playing time in the Pirates lineup. He’s starting in left field with Melky Cabrera spelling him every few days.

Reynolds is hitting .462 with two doubles, a triple and three RBI’s in the last week. He is hitting all over the Pirates order. He’s hit second, third and fifth with Josh Bell either in front or behind him.

Reynolds does not strike out often, 28 in 120 at-bats, but also doesn’t walk much, 12 times. He has six two-hit games in his last nine games. If you’re looking for hits, runs and average, Reynolds is your guy.

Adrian Sampson

Sampson had a couple of bad starts this season, giving up at least five runs in three starts. He also doesn’t pitch deep into games when he starts. Sampson has made some relief appearances as well.

He averages 79.1 pitches and 4.88 innings when he does start. Sampson’s best start came on Sunday against the Royals. He allowed one run in seven innings with eight hits and 11 strikeouts.

As a middle reliever and starter, Sampson is on a four-game winning streak. He will make his next start on Saturday at home against Oakland.

Colin Moran

I honestly didn’t realize it until I got here that I selected two Pirates hitters. While Reynolds is racking up the hits, Moran is scoring and driving in runs. Over the last 15 days, he has 10 runs and 13 RBI’s with a .397 on-base percentage.

He does strike out a bit. Moran had a string of nine straight games with at least one strikeout. He’s currently on a five-game hit streak with two home runs and a double.

Moran is slotted sixth in the Pirates batting order. That’s a good spot to drive in runs for Pittsburgh. They have the second-highest runs scored and third-highest batting average over the last week and Moran is a big part of that.

The waiver wire pool continues to dwindle as teams are making a push for the championship. Pitching is more of a risk than hitting. Make sure you find the right guy with a nice string of match-ups coming up.
