​Wade Miley, Houston Astros

Starts: April 23rd vs. Minnesota Twins, April 28th vs. Cleveland Indians
ESPN ownership: 7%

The move from a fourseam to a cut fastball has yielded better results for Wade Miley in terms of run prevention, but it hasn't exactly endeared him to fantasy players, who have understandably left the 32-year-old's slender 12.1% strikeout rate to wallow on the waiver wire in the majority of leagues.

But owners in need of a two-start fix might try the veteran on for size in Week 4. The matchups are admittedly a bit of a mixed bag, with the Twins sporting the second highest team ISO across the majors while the Indians carry baseball's lowest. Still, backed by the dynamite Houston Astros offense, Miley is at the very least positioned nicely to earn fantasy owners a pair of Ws, even if he comes up short in the strikeout department.
