2019 Fantasy Baseball Weekly Planner: June 10-16

Last week we unveiled a newly formatted Weekly Planner but just in case you missed that, there are some changes you will see down below. We know you will make use of these changes each week though and in case you are missing the starting pitcher ranks, you can always check out the Streaming Pitchers and Two-Start Pitchers pieces where you’ll find a ton of pitchers for the upcoming week. The match-up section will be discussed more down below.

Team Schedules

Inter-League Schedule

Who’s Hot

The following tables show the top-five in each category over the last seven games and who has the longest active hit streaks.

Francisco Lindor , SS CLE – After missing the first several weeks of the season with an injury, Lindor is finally starting to make his presence felt in the Cleveland lineup as he put up a .478/.520/1.087 slash line this week with three homers, seven runs, four RBI, and a steal heading into Sunday’s action. That line makes him no worse than fifth in the six categories in the tables above and his HR and runs are tied for the most and second most among qualified hitters. The Indians need all the help they can muster offensively and especially from their top hitter.

Corey Seager , SS LAD – Seager has been a bit out-shadowed by his teammate in Cody Bellinger most of this year but this week, it’s Seager doing the outpacing. His .462/.481/.808 slash line with a home run, nine RBI, three runs with more walks than strikeouts. The Dodgers are really starting to hum as a team and if they get Seager going more consistently it will only help the rest of the lineup.

Christian Yelich , OF MIL –  Shocker. Yelich had a good week once again with a .600/.640/.900 slash line with a homer, three runs, three RBI, and two steals. The MVP-candidate was slowed by some back spasms a couple of weeks back, but that might be the only thing that slows him down since clearly, major league pitchers aren’t doing the job this year.

Who’s Not

Brett Gardner , OF NYY – Gardner didn’t manage a hit in the 19 plate appearances he saw in the last five games. He did manage to score run though, after making it on base just once in that span. He then let his frustrations get the best of him on Saturday night as he threw his helmet at the dugout wall during the game, which then because his week was just that bad, bounced back and hit him in the face. Gardner did hit a home run on Sunday, prior to the writing of this, but overall it was still not a good week at all for Gardner.

Keon Broxton , OF BAL – The Orioles got some magic when they acquired Broxton but that magic seems to have worn off this week as he hit .095/.095/.238 with a home run, two runs, one RBI, and two steals in 21 plate appearances. Baltimore’s offense has been sad all year but there was a glimmer of hope when they first got Broxton and now that glimmer is fading. He did manage some counting stats, which does help just a touch.

Derek Dietrich /Eugenio Suárez , 2B/3B CIN – Dietrich and Suarez have both had solid seasons to this point, especially Dietrich, but they weren’t solid by any means this week. Dietrich hit .067/.125/.133 with one run and one RBI while Suarez hit .105/.105/.105 with no counting stats. Neither of those stat lines will help fantasy owners in the least. The only good news for the pair is that those lines came in a combined 35 plate appearances.

Weekly Match-Up Breakdowns

Brand new section for the weekly planner. Each of the match-ups for the start of the week will be broken down over 17 stat categories and how each team is performing in those categories. The teams in the left side of each match-up have their stats showing for road games this season while the teams on the right side are showing their stats for home games this season. This section will be updated on Thursday morning to account for the weekend series for each team so make sure to check back on Thursdays to see the updates.
