He’s 4-2 with a 3.36 ERA, and has allowed more than three earned runs just once in his last eight starts despite the fact that he averages just over six innings per start. Eovaldi has a respectable 57 strikeouts in 67 innings.

They are consistent but not particularly polished, especially the finish in his delivery. He comes across his body to the third base side of the mound, which makes you wonder if his command could be hindered. Kolek’s stuff is potentially dominant, with a fastball that hovers around 99 mph, and his 6’6”, 250-pound frame is imposing. His curveball and slider are works in progress, but of course, we love the fastball (who doesn’t?), as it can hit as high as 102, which is unprecedented for a high-schooler.

Well, he’s slightly outplayed that, likely coming in around top 45 so far, yet he remains available in over half of ESPN and CBS leagues. The Phillies lead-off man the last two games is a bit below pace for his stated goal of 50 to 60 steals, but he’s managed to raise his BA 23 points in the last two games (including a 4-for-4, three-run gem on Saturday) — something that should help him from losing any more PT in centre field.

Jackson is on his eighth team and about his 78th lease on life. He has a World Series ring to show for his travels but is about the last guy you’d expect to get excited about when he’s sitting there on the waiver wire. After all, E-Jax led the National League with 18 losses last season, but don’t sleep on the 30-year-old in 2014. Less than one per cent (0.9) own Jackson in ESPN leagues and just 15 per cent have him in CBS leagues, but he’s sizzling in May. Despite a 1-1 record, Jackson has a 1.80 ERA (four earned runs in 20 IP) with 23 strikeouts to just three walks.
