Austin Riley Seeks To Keep Up Annihilation Of Rockies
11 months agoAtlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley is batting third against southpaw Kyle Freeland and the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. The 26-year-old boasts a torrid .373 BA with 10 extra-base hits and 14 RBI for a 1.176 OPS over 51 at-bats versus the Rockies in his career. Riley is also slashing .310/.391/.629 with 33 extra-base hits and 39 RBI in 243 plate appearances against lefties since 2022. The 2022 All-Star has slate-shattering upside in DFS settings and Riley isn't overly expensive on either site. The slugging third baseman sits outside the top 10 at the hot corner in terms of total roto-league value, so season-long managers are hoping he can kick-off a hot streak.
