Who's Hot

Juan Soto, Washington

Looking for a wild card in the National League MVP race, part two? Soto's the hottest hitter on the planet right now with an eye popping .523/.633/.932 slash line over his last 13 games in 60 plate appearances. He's launched four home runs, scored 12 runs and driven in 10. Most impressive, he's recorded 15 walks (four intentional) versus four strikeouts in this sample and produced 41 batted ball events with seven barrels (17.1 percent) along with 21 hard hits (51.2 percent). Pretty, pretty, pretty good. 

Paul Goldschmidt, St. Louis

Fueling the hard charging Cardinals, winners of 12 in a row after sweeping the Brewers in Milwaukee pulling within three games of the division, Paul Goldschmidt crushed two home runs on Thursday. Overall, he's slashing a robust .347/.431/.776 with 19 runs, five home runs, 11 RBI and even stolen a base his last 13 games covering 58 plate appearances. Armed with a .429 isolated power and .488 wOBA, he may finish the season with a flurry. 

Nick Gordon, Minnesota

Here's the deal, for those looking for a flier for the last week of the fantasy season, Gordon could be your guy. He went 3-for-4 on Thursday with a home run and four RBI, and he's 8-for-his-last-16 with eight RBI since Sunday with two home runs plus two stolen bases. In this time frame, he's hitting .474/.500/.895 good for a .581 wOBA and 278 weighted runs created plus. Not sure this will be sustainable in 2022, but for one more week, why not? 

 

Who's Not

Carter Kieboom, Washington

On the downside of a hot streak, correction came calling for Kieboom. He's hitting .071/.188/.071 his last 11 contests spanning 48 plate appearances with four runs. That's it, no other statistics. Good news, he owns a 10.4 walk rate in his sample with only a 22.9 strikeout percentage, but with no extra-base hits, RBI or stolen bases, he should be firmly placed on your bench or waiver wire. 

Christian Yelich, Milwaukee

Perhaps the poster boy for the Brewers slumping offense, Yelich owns a .111/.200/.156 slash line in his last 50 plate appearances with four runs and four RBI. Less than ideal. With the playoffs on the horizon and the Cardinals challenging for the division, both Yelich and his Milwaukee teammates must produce if they plan on playing meaningful games in late October. Stay tuned. 

Abraham Toro, Seattle

Remember when everyone wished they added Toro after his trade? After a hot start, he's once again struggling with a .089/.146/.111 slash line over the last two weeks. He's played in 12 games accruing 48 plate appearances with five runs and two RBI, but no other counting statistics. His .022 isolated power and .124 wOBA should land him on your bench for the last week of fantasy. 

This will be the last segment for the season for the Hitter Streaks and Trends, hope it's helped on the way to a fantasy title. Best of luck in the last week and be well - Greg
