![]() While a lot of it is on the ground, I worry that as things heat up, he will get burned pretty hard. However, his 圎RA is 4.35, and he allows a ton of contact. I worry that he is riding a very risky line here, and it could end poorly for him.īryce Elder has been fantastic this season, throwing 41.1 innings with a 1.74 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. He is getting lucky in the BABIP department and his home run rate. However, the strikeout rate is suddenly down to 16.6%, and he is allowing more contact than he ever has. Shane Bieber is pitching well to start the season, throwing 45.2 innings with a 2.96 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. If I could get close to draft day value for him right now, I would. This limits his stolen base upside with the top of the lineup following him. However, he is hitting ninth against right-handed pitchers and struggling against them on top of that. Considering his original draft price, it is well enough that he can still get sold for a decent price. 248/.322/.448 with five home runs and three stolen bases. Tommy Edman has started off the year in a mediocre way, hitting. His ground ball rate is about 60%, and he is just getting lucky on balls in play. However, he is striking out at a 31.7% rate on the season, and despite the hot streak, he is still striking out 26% of the time over the last two weeks. He has been hot over the last two weeks, hitting. ![]() 262 with three home runs and two stolen bases. Riley Greene has started off the year well, hitting. You have got a chance to grab him for nothing. The Pirates don’t have many other options, so they shouldn’t move on from him quickly. He might be available on your wire right now or very cheap in a trade. He has a 3.30 圎RA, a decent walk rate, a great home run rate and is doing a good job at preventing hard contact. However, the underlying numbers are much better than the surface ones. Johan Oviedo was a deep sleeper coming into the season, and unfortunately, the results have put your teams to sleep if you drafted him. If someone is selling Wheeler, I am buying. His home run rate and contact rates are the best of his career. ![]() He is getting really unlucky on balls in play and strand rate. However, the underlying numbers are fine. Wheeler hasn’t been dreadful, but he hasn’t produced the ace numbers we are looking for. Zack Wheeler has thrown 38 innings this season, allowing a 4.26 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP this season. I think Naylor will turn it around here and now is a nice cheap buy low. He is making good contact in the zone as well. He is hitting the ball hard enough, but just not pulling the ball a ton. 274, and he is striking out under 20% of the time. 202/.256/.321 with three home runs and two stolen bases. Josh Naylor has started the season slowly, hitting. Add in the fact that he is making the best zone contact of his career, and he is running at the highest pace of his career, and he could have a massive fantasy output the rest of the way. However, he has been getting really unlucky with a. 210/.273/.304 with four home runs and five stolen bases. George Springer has struggled this season, hitting.

A three or four-game hot streak wouldn’t even be noticeable in the middle of the season, but since we have so little to work off of right now, it gets overblown. The numbers we use to gauge players aren’t a large enough sample to be meaningful yet. When we are super early into the season, we see hot and cold streaks as more important than they are. However, because it is such a grind, fantasy managers can lose focus on what is important and what is not, allowing astute fantasy managers to take advantage. Unlike other fantasy sports, the season is long and drags as the weeks roll on. Fantasy baseball is a marathon, not a sprint.
