We spent a lot of time this spring speaking Fun offenses. The Cubs have led the majors by marking roughly since the start of games on American soil. The Yankees and their Torpille bats, we were there, which did this. The Reds, Diamondbacks and Red Sox are also in the top five for marked races, no surprise there.
But what's going on at the bottom of the column? The Texas Rangers, only two seasons withdrawn from the championship, are the least score of baseball. Meanwhile, Colorado Rockies have the worst attack on the National League.

Only three strikers have been good answers for the Rangers this year – And one of them, Corey Seager, is injured. Wyatt Landford was formidable during the first three weeks, a thrust of .344 / .419 / .688. It could be a MVP one day. And although Josh Jung did not produce a lot of points, his slash .282 / .301 / .465 leads to an OPS + of 122, putting it well above the league average.
After that, it's a mess. Marcus Semien has long been one of my favorites, but is this a 34-year-old cliff season? The start of semien .150 / .216 / .220 would be worrying in any context, but remember that he lost 26 points on his OP + last year. Sperm opened the season in its usual head niche; He went to fifth in last week. He has moved considerably in my ranking of the rest of the season, apart from the Top 100.
Jake Burger facilitates opposing launchers – two walks against 28 stick withdrawals. He also has one of The worst prosecution rates of the league. Why throw a strike when he swings on a ball? To be fair, he beat similar measures last year in Florida, and he was unlucky of around 48 points with this average of .174. Give Burger a little time to sizzle the sizzle.

There is only Two good answers in the colorado offensive so farFortunately, they are both widely available in the Yahoo leagues. The hunter eligible for the Receiver Goodman has a solid average of .256 and four circuits, and he is regularly DHS when he is not behind marble. Goodman started 24 of the 27 games this year, and the volume is King when evaluating sensors for fantastic purposes. He awaits your call in 71% of Yahoo leagues.
The jordan beck voltiseur is not a perfect player – he has already accumulated 20 stick withdrawals in 17 games. This type of contact rate will flow almost anyone possibly. But Beck has five circuits and four interceptions in her April push – category juice for victory – and Colorado was the first and second in the weekend series against the Reds. Beck was a first -round choice only three years ago, so there is a pedigree here. It is registered in a modest 23% of Yahoo leagues while we are in press.
Unfortunately for the Rockies, Goodman and Beck are the only players to provide power and speed at the moment. Brenton Doyle was correct – three hours, two interceptions – and his medium games .257 too. This team certainly releases a ton – Michael Toglia and Ryan McMahon have both 40 puffs, at the top of the majors. At least Toglia has warmed in recent weeks, pushing its average above the Mendoza. Rockies do not have many alternatives; They will have to continue to play it.

A strategy with Colorado – and against Colorado, is to work on the calendar. The Rockies have an oblique bar .244 / .330 / .419 at home and a depressing oblique bar. 186 / .248 / .291 on the road. You can start almost any potential streamer if it draws colorado at sea level. Perhaps this plum assignment will help Jordan Hicks to keep its place in the rotation of San Francisco; He draws the Rockies next weekend. (And if Hicks loses his way, note the excellent work Hayden Birdsong has been relieve.)
You give some additional typing recommendations while we are preparing for the new week:
3B Noelvi Marte, Reds (44%)
Keep in mind that Marte was A TOP 25 Perspective And a top 100 ADP player before the suspension last spring. Okay, he did not hit a kick on his return; It may be a loss of confidence and a lack of timing. But Marte quickly set it up this spring, reducing its withdrawal rate by an incredible 18% and tear a start of .364 / .404 / .659, with three circuits and four interceptions. He is also in a glorious park.

It is the day of graduation – it is time to push Marte far beyond the 50% threshold in Yahoo swimming pools.
2B / 3B Jorge Polaco, Mariners (45%)
These .377 averages are generally not designed to last, but Polanco has a high rate for sure and an average of 0.371 -expected strikers. He has his own chance. He also reduced his withdrawal rate to 12%, and his Sliders of a scholarly baseball are filled with glorious red. Few strikers can beat the park in Seattle, but it was not a problem for Polanco either. And remember: he had a season of 33 Harm as recently as 2021. He is back in our central plans.
Andy pages, Dodgers (13%)
The pages were too beautiful to be true last week, a frenzy of 13 for 20 with three circuits and a flight. This should mark its territory in the programming for a while; He started in 15 games out of 17. The pages are generally placed in the lower half of the programming, although he went up to sixth in last week's sequence. Let's launch the tires and see where we are going.
2B / De Gavin Lux, Reds (31%)
Anyone For a post-hype sleeper story? You have to work on the calendar with Lux – it will not play against most left -handers – but it has increased its walking rate up to 13.9% and it strikes the line by 29.5% of the time. Wait for your pitch, then rake.
Next week's calendar is heavier with RHP for Lux, so if you are in a league once a week for transactions, maybe wait a few days. But it is possible that Lux could finally bring things together in her 27 -year season.
