Drew Hutchison has been somewhat of a gas can this year....on the road. That's right, away from the hitter-comfy Rogers Centre, D-Hutch has been atrocious on the road. Consider these away stats:
.433 wOBA/,429 OBP/.592 SLG
4.66 xFIP/5.40 FIP/9.6 K-BB%
It's gross. And it's in line with his whole career numbers, though not as individually garish as the 2015 stats are.
So how is he at home, where he'll be taking the mound Wednesday. Surely in such an offensive haven as the Rogers Centre, Hutchison may pitch better than on the road, but it's negligible, right? Again, please consider:
.266 wOBA/.282 OBP/ .315 SLG
3.50 xFIP/2.80 FIP/ 15.9 K-BB%
Look around the league and you may find guys like this; SPs who are super at home, no matter the park they call home, but are stinkers on the road. Last season, Jorge De La Rosa had much better numbers at home than on the road, scary when you consider his home park is Coors Field.
So Hutchison is better at home than on the road and he's not just better, he's a good pitcher at home, raising his K-rate and lowering his other qualitative numbers at home. He's a big favorite (or at least Toronto is a big favorite) and should be able to dial up the 15 or so points he'd need at this rock bottom price of $5,400 to make value. Since most of the DFS players are going to remember all the shellackings that has been administered to Hutchison on the road, and the offensive numbers at the Centre, he's always very low owned. He's not a solid cash game (50/50, H2H) play, but he's on my tournament rosters. Come join me, if you dare!
Hutch likes to pitch at home,
