Best Sub-50% Rostered Hitters For This Week
There are no games at Coors Field this week. But we have seven at Wrigley, where it will be in the high 80s/low 90s at the beginning of the week with winds between eight and 15 miles per hour. The teams playing at Wrigley next week are San Francisco (Sep 4- Sep 6) and Arizona (Sep 7- Sep 10). The Diamondbacks face three out of four right-handed pitchers in Chicago. Arizona is a bit better versus righties, slashing .256/.327/.427 with a 104 wRC+ and .171 ISO.
Best Arizona Bats Versus Right-Handed Pitchers
The Dodgers will travel to Nationals Park next Friday-Sunday, where all three pitchers they will face are righties. Versus right-handers, they have a .217 ISO and 114 wRC+. Let's see if I can find some Dodger lefties to help out Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman while they are in the Nation's Capital!

Week 24 Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers
Luis Rengifo, 2B, 3B, SS, OF - Los Angeles Angels (48% Rostered)
Switch-hitter Luis Rengifo faces two righties and two lefties at home next week versus the Guardians. Renigfo is slashing .258/.337/.428 for the season, above his career average of .242/.305/.386. In his last five games, he's batting .450 /409/.750 with two home runs, five RBI, and a stolen base.
Post All-Star break, the vet is slashing .311/.372/.565; versus left-handed pitchers, he is batting .324/.390/.543. Rengifo ended August with a .327/.391/.520 slash line and there's no reason to think that won't continue as we roll into the next few weeks.
DJ LeMahieu, 1B, 2B, 3B, OF - New York Yankees (47% Rostered)L
DJ LeMahieu went without a hit in Saturday's loss to the Astros, but that was the first time in the last four games. In his previous 10 games, he has five home runs, 10 hits, and five RBI. The last-place Yankees have won their last four out of five games, four behind the fourth-place Red Sox.
LeMachine has been making his presence felt in the second half of the season. While the Bombers won't be making the playoffs this year (2% chance), he's still making enough noise with his bat to help your team these last few weeks of the regular season.
J.P. Crawford, SS - Seattle Mariners (28% Rostered)
I'm adding J.P. Crawford to this list of hitters once again because the lefty and the Mariners face seven out of seven right-handed pitchers next week, three of which are at Great American Ball Park. Crawford is slashing .273/.390/.438 for the season. Versus right-handed pitchers, he is .281/.399/.479 with 13 home runs and 36 RBI.
Post All-Star break, he is .318/.451/.535 with 41 hits, 33 runs, six home runs, and 13 RBI. The Mariners are in first place in the AL West, but just by one game. Houston is coming up fast, trying to take their spot. Crawford's bat will help the Mariners keep their first-place position and can be confidently rostered.
Gabriel Moreno, C - Arizona Diamondbacks (21 % Rostered)
The Diamondbacks are 13.5 games back and tied for second with the San Francisco Giants in the NL West. The second-year player is slashing .284/.329/.421 this season; .313/.389/.813 in the last five games with two home runs and four RBI.
Before losing their last four of five games, the D-Backs had won eight of their previous 10 games. During that time, Gabriel Moreno had a .333 batting average with 13 hits, two homers, nine RBI, and eight runs scored. Moreno has been a big part of the Diamondbacks, working their way through the standings. With a great matchup at Wrigley versus the Cubs, you can roster him confidently.
Mike Tauchman, OF - Chicago Cubs (12% Rostered)
Left-hander Mike Tauchman and the Cubbies face six right-handed pitchers next week, all at Wrigley Field. Chicago is slashing .251/.332/.412 versus righties with a 104 wRC+.
Post All-Star break, Tauchman is batting .267/.362/.415 with 36 hits, four home runs, and 21 RBI. Versus righties, he is .258/.362/.384. He’s striking out less often than in the past at just 20.2%, almost five percent lower than his career average. He is slashing .328/.432/.516 with runners in scoring position. With great matchups next week, roster Tauchman with confidence.
