Blue Jays SS Bo Bichette — 6 Hitter Fantasy Score
- Blue Jays SS Bo Bichette has put together a terrific July, batting .354 and posting five multi-hit games.
- Bichette compiled a total of seven fantasy points in the first two wins against the Giants before putting up 16 points on Sunday.
- Bichette has done most of his damage at home this season, batting .319 at Rogers Center to go along with 10 of his 12 home runs.
- Yankees P Carlos Rodon has struck out Bichette three times in 11 at-bats.
- Bichette is tied with teammate Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. for the league lead in xBA at .315. On the flip side, Rodon allows an XBA of .210 (89th percentile) and a whiff rate of 32.1% (90th percentile).
Athletics P Jacob Lopez — 5.5 Strikeouts
- Athletics P Jacob Lopez has recorded at least five strikeouts in six of his last seven starts.
- In Lopez’s lone start against Texas this season, the left-hander put up four strikeouts in less than three innings at work.
