And in a win and that's 16-17 points or so. Very unlikely that he scores more than that.
Wait he's scored 18+ 7/16 starts, and 20+ 6/16 starts and 24+ 4/16 starts and for 5-6k range that's not bad, obviously I wouldn't leave money on the table with him in my lineup, but I was chosing between him, Graveman and Severino, I took a tiny bit of Severino as well. I also downgraded a couple of bats and took Hellickson in some, and maybe that was the right play tbh, and I had more of that play, but I felt the upgrade at bats and the variance Rodon brought was worth the risk.
EDIT: Also, if I had seen the high ownership of Severino, no chance I would have chosen him over Rodon's low ownership, the plays were similar with equal ownerships imo.
