Boxscore Recap: CWS vs. BAL

Own % Based on Standard Yahoo Leagues

 

CWS (9-12) – 12 @ BAL (8-16) – 2

 

Jose Abreu- CWS – 1B (96%)

2019 Statistics:

20 G (23 K/ 8 BB) .192/ .273/ .372/ .645, 10 R, 3 HR, 12 RBI, 2 SB/ 0 CS

3/ 6 AB (1K/ 0 BB) 2 R, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 0 SB

Abreu has been due for a hot streak and this might be the end of what was a possible buy-low window, with 6 hits in the last 15 AB. A solid bet for .290 AVG, 30 HR and 90 RBI every season, Abreu might finally have help in the lineup. Yoan Moncada (.314) and Tim Anderson (.403) are enjoying break out seasons and while Eloy Jiminez has struggled he offers solid protection behind Abreu alongside veterans Yonder Alonso and Welington Castillo. Even after this three-hit performance, Abreu is only hitting .214 on the season and presents a strong buy-low target.

 

 

Yolmer Sanchez – CWS – 2B, 3B (2%)

2019 Statistics:

17 G (17 K/ 7 BB) .208/ .300/ .245/ .545, 7 R, 0 HR, 2 RBI, 1 SB/ 1 CS

3/ 5 AB (1K/ 0BB) 0 R, 0 HR, 0 RBI, 0 SB

Sanchez has averaged 10 HR/ 11 SB with a .254 AVG the past two seasons (542 AB) and could provide deep league value if given the opportunity to lead off if Leury Garcia struggles to get on base consistently (.282 OBP in 340 G)

 

Roster in 16 team leagues

 

Renato Nunez – BAL – 3B (21%)

2019 Statistics:  

22 G (22 K/ 5 BB) .293/ .341/ .512/ 853, 14 R, 5 HR, 16 RBI, 0 SB, 1 CS

1/ 3 AB (0 K/ 1BB) 0 R, 0 HR, 0 RBI, 0 SB/ 0 CS

Villar (.273), Mancini (.347) and Dwight Smith Jr. (.289) have gotten off to strong starts, providing Nunez with solid RBI opportunities. Over the past two weeks, Nunez is hitting .311 with 4 HR and 11 RBI, hitting cleanup. Nunez has a strong minor league history of power and could emerge as a 20 HR+ option in a surprisingly decent lineup and in a favorable home park for hitters.

 

Roster in 12 – 14 team leagues

 

Pedro Severino – BAL- C (0%)

2019 Statistics:

10 G (6 K/ 2 BB) .233/303/ .467/ .770, 3 R, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 0 SB/ 0 CS

2/ 4 AB (1 K/ 0 BB) 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 0 SB

Severino hit his third home run on the season and has homered in all three of his last starts in which he has started in three out of the last five games. After showing flashes of upside in his rookie season .321 AVG with 2 HR, 4 RBI in 16 G, Severino has struggled to produce with the Nationals. A change of scenery in Baltimore and an opportunity to play every day could lead to increased value in two-catcher and deeper leagues.
