Week 14 Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers
Ha-Seong Kim, San Diego Padres (30% Rostered)
As noted above, the Padres are away from home all week but playing in hitter-friendly PNC Park and Great American Ball Park.
On the road and against right-handed pitchers (San Diego is facing four out of six righties next week), Kim is slashing .328/.429/.453 with a .882 OPS and a 150 wRC+.
TJ Friedl, Cincinnati Reds (21% Rostered)
The Reds are another team with six games next week, but they are all against right-handed pitchers, and three are in hitter-friendly Camden Yards, where next week's temperatures will be in the 80s (look out for thunderstorms, 'tis the season in the DMV).
Against righties this season, Friedl is slashing .309/.379/.481 with a .173 ISO and 127 wRC+.
Trent Grisham, San Diego Padres (4% rostered)
Yes, another Padre, but they have great matchups this week in hitter-friendly parks versus right-handed pitchers. In his last five games on the road, Grisham has a .316 batting average with six hits, an RBI, and a run scored.
Against left-handed pitchers on the road this season, Grisham is slashing .296/.406/.630 with a 1.036 OPS, .333 ISO, and a 176 wRC+.
Matt Thaiss, Los Angeles Angels (2% Rostered)
The Angels don't have the best matchups next week but hear me out. All seven games are at home versus right-handed pitchers and in that split, Thaiss has a .264 batting average with two home runs, 12 RBI, and a .808 OPS.
He has also shown some power with a .180 ISO and a 121 wRC+ versus righties at home.
