Walston lands here by default as I don't find much appeal in any of the paydown options Tuesday. Walks are a major concern here and have been at every level for Walston, which gives him a shaky floor for scoring from innings. But he's shown the ability to miss bats, fanning nine in his first 8.1 frames, giving him the potential to reach a 3x return. San Francisco's offense is seemingly better as a unit than it's individual parts, and come in to Tuesday ranking 11th off lefties with a .314 wOBA and 108 wRC+, striking out at a less than desirable 21.6 percent rate, so it's not an easy matchup. At worst, Walston opens up spending options on Reds bats in Coors Field, and at best he can pop for 25-plus fantasy points.
