Waverwire ads from the weekend. Up next on Fantasy Baseball Today Express. Welcome into FBT Express on Monday, June 8th. I am, for example, joined by Chris Towers, and let's go over to the top of WaverWire ads from the weekend. We'll start with two pitchers, only available in a few leagues, but man, we got to talk about them. Roki Sasaki and Reid Detmer's.

They went up against each other this weekend, and they were both awesome. Sasaki, seven shutout innings with 10 strikeouts. He's been amazing over his last four starts. Reed Detmer's, six shutout innings, six strikeouts, 14 whiffs on 91 pitches. Chris, what have you seen from these two? and who do you prefer Roki Sasaki or Reid Detmer's?

I think the likeliest out. whiffs on 91 pitches. Chris, what have you seen from these two? And who do you prefer,

Roki Sasaki or Reed Dettmers? I think the likeliest outcome is Reed Dettmers will be better

than Rookie Sasaki. But if you're asking who I would like to add as a priority this week,

I would prioritize Roki Sasaki. And part of that is just, we've been here before with Red Ders, and it's hard to shake that. And maybe that's, look, I generally think you should not worry so much about the player's name. You should worry about the profile. And Red Dempmer's profile looks really good. 291 FIP, 292XERA. When those two things agree, you should have a lot of confidence that that's who

they'll be moving forward. The problem is this is a guy who has underperformed his expected

ERA, his FIP, all the peripherals by about three quarters of a run over the course of nearly

600 innings in his career, which is not a definitive sample size, but it's big enough

to suggest that there's something,

you know, whether it's pitching with runners on base, pitching out of the stretch,

there's something about Redembers that just doesn't quite fit in our schema.

So I'm a little more willing to be skeptical of him,

even if I do think he should be basically 100% rostered after six shut head head innings against the Dodgers.

He had a 14 strikeout game a couple starts ago.

A lot to like about redevers.

But Roki Sasaki, this is just a brand new version of him.

And then I think that's what's most exciting, at least from a let's see what happens here standpoint,

because he has completely remade himself.

In the offseason, he got rid of the sweeper that he threw last year, started throwing

a slider that's a little more of a gyro shape.

Then around the late part of April, he stops throwing his forkball exclusively.
