Fantasy Baseball Waiver Picks Highlight Key Players Ahead of Week 6

Several under-the-radar pitchers have emerged as valuable waiver wire additions for fantasy baseball managers this week. Gunner Hougland of the Athletics impressed in his MLB debut with six strong innings and seven strikeouts, while the Dodgers' Ben Casparius is transitioning to the rotation after excelling as a reliever and could provide quality innings backed by a strong offense. Shelby Miller has seized high-leverage opportunities in Arizona's bullpen, making him a potential source of saves. Additionally, Padres pitcher Stephen Kolek delivered a solid season debut with over five shutout innings and could offer depth for those needing starting pitching, though he may be more useful in favorable matchups due to limited strikeout upside.
