Chris Stratton's 2018 profile has been nothing short of troublesome, with the 27-year-old San Francisco Giants righty mixing an overly generous 11.1% walk rate with a hair-raising 42.5% hard-contact figure across 43 innings of work.
If the struggling Giant is ever going to get right, this would be the week to do it, with Stratton squaring off against a Reds squad that has gasped to a .107 group isolated slugging in road games, to say nothing of a sputtering Rockies team managing a mere .679 group OPS away from Coors Field. Stratton's shaky performance thus far certainly makes him a high-variance play, but you won't find many more inviting two-start schedules on waivers this week.
