Marcus Semien Snaps Homer-Less Streak In Win
12 months agoTexas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 with two RBI, blasting his sixth homer of the season in a 4-3 triumph over the Mariners on Wednesday. The 32-year-old holds something of a fantasy sell-high case after this performance, as he possesses a noticeable discrepancy between his actual and expected numbers in multiple hitting statistics, per Statcast. Before Wednesday's game, the infielder exhibited a near 100-point differential between his SLG (.457) and xSLG (.362) percentages, according to Statcast's database. Perhaps this debatable sell-high window could extend through the weekend as Semien and his fantasy managers look forward to a four-game set with his former Athletics club and their shoddy pitching.
