BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams
ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Duggar has played the strong side of the platoon in center field this year, typically starting against right-handed pitching. Well, San Francisco plays seven games next week and will face a right-handed starter in five of them. The vast majority of his production has come vs. righties with a .289/.352/.494 batting line to go along with 12 doubles, two triples, six home runs, and 23 RBI over 166 at-bats. On the season, he's slashing .282/.355/.477 with seven homers, 27 RBI, six stolen bases, and 35 runs scored over 195 at-bats. Streaming is all about stacking the deck in our favor and when a player has favorable splits such as Duggar, it's best to get them in your lineup.
He's hitting .384 (.304 xBA) and slugging .616 (.511 xSLG) against fastballs this season and all five right-handed starters that he's slated to see throw their four-seamer, sinker, and/or cutter over 50% of the time. Duggar should start in center field when the Giants face Taylor Widener (62.9% fastball usage), Zac Gallen. (58.5%), Merrill Kelly (51.4%), Corbin Burnes (54%), and Brandon Woodruff (62%). He may have some trouble with Burnes and Woodruff but the D-Backs pitching staff ranks dead last in wOBA (.348) and wOBAcon (.402) allowed. The ceiling isn't super high but the chips are stacked in his favor, particularly against the D-backs, and he'll give you a cheap piece of the Giants offense.
