Luke Raley Staying Hot at the Plate, Worth a Longer Look?
Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley went 1-for-3 with a walk on Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Padres, and is now 7-for-12 (.583) over his last three games. The left-handed slugger began the year by hitting a home run in three straight games, and is now slashing .296/.356/.556 with seven extra-base hits this season with a .401 wOBA and 165 wRC+. The trouble for season-long fantasy is that he doesn't get much play against left-handed pitchers, and so far this season, it is pretty extreme, with the 31-year-old logging just one plate appearance against southpaws compared to 58 PA against right-handers. Still, interested managers looking for some power production can find him on the waiver wire in 90 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and the Mariners don't face a left-handed starter until this coming Sunday.
