2019 Fantasy Baseball Weekly Planner: June 17-23

Weekend Match-up break downs are in the Match-up Breakdown Section

There’s nothing like getting ahead of things, especially in fantasy baseball. The Weekly Planner is your one-stop shop for seeing who's playing who, how those match-ups break down, and who’s hot or struggling. This should help you be able to set up your lineups the way you like and watch the success follow. The planner will be updated on Thursday for the weekend series match-up breakdowns as well.

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.

Ozzie Albies , 2B ATL – Albies had himself a solid week after slumping a bit previously as he slashed .345/.406/.828 with three home runs, seven runs, seven RBI, and a steal in 32 plate appearances. Even though he has dropped in the order for the Braves, he is still bringing his bat skills to bear and helping out round out the Braves offense which has been a bit hit and miss this season. The Braves get the Mets and Nationals this coming week and Albies has hit well against those teams in the past.

Trea Turner , SS WAS – Now that Turner has been back from his broken finger for a few weeks, he’s really starting to round into form with a .440/.500/.960 slash line in 28 plate appearances with two home runs, eight runs, four RBI, and two steals. The Nationals offense has started to surge with Turner back in the lineup as the table setter and he’s keeping up a pace the reflects why he was a first-round pick in drafts this year.

Ketel Marte , SS ARI – Marte is seeing a big power surge this year with 19 homers already and five of those coming in the last seven games prior to Sunday. His .367/.424/.900 slash line represent the solid week he had too. The only downside to his counting stats this week was the fact that he only had five RBI and no steals meaning the only runs he drove in were himself on five solo homers. His stellar season is really boosting the rest of the Arizona lineup as the season reaches the summer months.

Who’s Not

Austin Meadows , OF TB – Meadows had quite possibly the worst week of any qualified hitter this week as he slashed .083/.048/.130 with just two runs accounting for his counting stats. He also struck out 39.1-percent of the time in his 23 plate appearances. He was smoking hot the other week and has absolutely come crashing back to earth but that is the nature of baseball sometimes. Overall, he is having a very good year for the Rays, so this is likely just a bump in the road for the young outfielder.

Randal Grichuk , OF TOR – If there is a hitter with a worse week than Meadows, it was Grichuk. He slashed .100/.050/.095 with one RBI and a whopping 47.6-percent K-rate in 21 plate appearances for the Blue Jays. Grichuk has always been a streaky hitter in his career and this is just one of those cold snaps he’s entered. The swing certainly generates a nice amount of power and can hit for a decent average, but it doesn’t take much to knock him off his game.

Paul Goldschmidt , 1B STL – Goldschmidt has gone cold for the slumping Cardinals offense as he slashed .192/.250/.269 with just two runs scored on the ledger. He has been taking some time to get his normal numbers rolling this year as he makes the move from the NL West to the NL Central and this week certainly didn’t help his cause. If the Cardinals want to get hot and really challenge the Cubs and Brewers for the NL Central race, they are going to need Goldschmidt to find his all-star caliber stroke once more.

Weekly Match-Up Breakdowns

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.
