Christian Encarnacion-Strand | Fantasy Outlook

Christian Encarnacion-Strand is scorching hot and locked into everyday playing time for the surging Orioles

Encarnacion-Strand has caught fire over the past two weeks, slashing .289 with two home runs and 10 RBI across 12 games, highlighted by a scorching .400 average over his last six contests. Serving as the everyday third baseman for a 68-69 Orioles club riding a three-game winning streak, he has seized full-time at-bats with Jordan Westburg sidelined.

Since arriving in Baltimore, the 26-year-old has revitalized his season, posting seven home runs and an .804 OPS in 35 games to easily outpace his initial baseline expectations. While his elevated strikeout rate makes him prone to cold spells, his immense raw power and everyday middle-of-the-order role make this second-half surge legitimately sustainable.

Baltimore lines up for a full seven-game slate this week, kicking off with a dream three-game series at Coors Field against Colorado starters Tanner Gordon (5.38 ERA), Gabriel Hughes (6.61 ERA), and Tomoyuki Sugano (5.47 ERA). Even with a stiffer four-game home matchup against Boston's rotation over the weekend, the early-week Coors boost makes him a must-play. Start.
