Expert Note
View More NotesAlthough Baltimore may only win 50 games, Givens is one of the closers who has no competition for saves on his team. Even 25 save opportunities is better than what someone like Josh Hader or Zach Britton will get. Pair that with another 80 strikeouts and respectable ratios and we are looking at a top 30 fantasy reliever.

Mychal Givens will be used in "high-leverage situations" said Orioles manager Brandon Hyde. He also would not commit to naming him the closer, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Fantasy Impact
Givens is the favorite to close for the Orioles this season. The Orioles manager also added that he "won't manage the save stat." Givens' fantasy value would take a hit if he is used as a "relief ace" as opposed to a traditional closer. He does have fantasy upside thanks to his high strikeout numbers. Givens has a career 301 strikeouts in 260 innings pitched.
