Rest-of-Season Projections
2019 Fantasy Outlook
Petit has now thrown at least 90 innings in back-to-back seasons with all but one appearance coming out of the bullpen. He has been an effective multi-inning reliever for both the Angels and Athletics the past two seasons, but does not have the wins to show for it like others. The ratios were there in 2018, but there were also some troubling signs for the 34-year-old reliever. His strikeout rate fell nearly eight percentage points while his FIP was nearly a full run higher than his ERA thanks to him stranding a career-high 81.8% of his baserunners. The new trend in fantasy baseball is to look for those middle relievers that will bring hidden value with vultured wins and strikeouts. Petit's usage should be similar in 2019, but beware of another step back because the advanced numbers are providing plenty of warning signs to potential buyers. Read Past Outlooks

Petit has the peripherals of a guy who throws much harder than he does. It is a struggle for him to top 90 mph most days, yet he struck out over 100 batters in under 92 innings while allowing just 69 hits. Petit has made a career of being tough to pick up with 2013 being the apex of that value as a swingman for the Giants. He made just one start in 2017, but was primarily the pitcher Angels manager Mike Scioscia called upon to work multiple innings, and that helped Petit become useful in AL-only leagues. The heavy workload did not play out in his first/second half splits as the lines were nearly identical across the board. Expect Petit to have a similar role with the A's in 2018 after signing a two-year, $10 million deal in November. It's a nice fit as Petit is a heavy flyball pitcher (46.6 career flyball percentage).
