Week 25 Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers
Charlie Blackmon, OF - Colorado Rockies (36% Rostered)
The Rockies play seven games next week: five at Coors Field and six versus right-handed pitchers. Lefty Blackmon is slashing .284/.376/.439 for the season with a 109 wRC+; .286/.368/.470 versus righties.
The Rockies just aren't good this year, but with five games at home next week and with Blackmon slashing .367/.462/.612 with runners in scoring position, there's still an opportunity to get some fantasy points with the DH facing six righties next week. Colorado is in a great place to score runs this week at home. Roster the lefty with confidence.
Ji Hwan Bae, 2B, OF - Pittsburgh Pirates (10% Rostered)
The Pirates play seven games next week, five at home and four versus right-handed pitchers. Bae is slashing .263/.263/.421 in his last five games, and in two games versus Atlanta, he is .375/.375/.500.
Versus right-handed pitchers, he is slashing .226/.302/.332, but both home runs on the year have come against righties. He'll have plenty of opportunity next week to add more homers versus four of seven right-handed pitchers. Roster Bae and the Pirates with confidence.
J.D. Davis, 1B, 3B - San Francisco Giants (23% Rostered)
Davis has been crushing his slash line for the Giants' last five games, going .368/.429/.842. He has a .304 batting average in September since shaking off a hand injury.
The Giants play the Rockies four times next week, twice at Coors Field, where Davis is batting .286/.323/.643 with two home runs and six RBI. San Francisco faces six right-handed pitchers next week, and Davis' splits are just about even, with a slash line of .250/.331/.405 with 11 home runs and 45 RBI versus righties. The Giants have one of the top matchups next week. Roster Davis with confidence.
Mike Tauchman, OF - Chicago Cubs (11% Rostered)
Tauchman has been a bit cold lately, but the Cubs play three games at Coors Field next week, a perfect way for the left-handed hitter to get back on track. Post All-Star break, he is slashing .261/.361/.401, and with runners in scoring position, he is batting .338/.435/.515
Despite his current cold streak, he still has a 104 wRC+ for the season, a testament to how strong of a bat he is. Look for him to get hot in Colorado next week, and let the Summer of Tauchman continue!
Ryan O'Hearn, 1B, OF - Baltimore Orioles (10% Rostered)
Baltimore plays seven games next week, five versus right-handed pitchers. Lefty O'Hearn continues to impress, batting .421/.421/.684 in his last five games. Versus righties, he is .311/.341/.496 with 10 home runs and 49 RBI.
The O's have won their last seven in a row, during which time O'hearn had a .360 batting average with nine hits, a homer, seven RBI, and six runs scored. Continue to confidently roster O'Hearn (and any Orioles!) next week.
