Jung Hoo Lee's Historic Hit Streak Makes Him a Must-Start
Jung Hoo Lee is the hottest hitter in baseball, currently riding a historic 18-game hitting streak and slashing an unbelievable .516 over the last seven days. Operating as the everyday starting right fielder, his return from a brief IL stint has given a huge spark to the fourth-place Giants. Despite his efforts, San Francisco sits at 28-41 and is searching for stability with key bats like Heliot Ramos on the injured list.
While Lee's current .469 average over the last 30 days is a clear outlier, his elite contact skills make him a high-floor fantasy asset. He currently boasts a .338 average on the year, far ahead of our original .263 projection and his .266 mark from last season. Expect some natural regression in his batting average on balls in play, but his microscopic strikeout rate suggests he will remain a premium source of average and runs.
For the remainder of the week, the Giants host a three-game series against the Cubs. Lee faces a tough test Friday against Ben Brown and his stingy 1.74 ERA, but he gets a highly favorable matchup on Sunday against Colin Rea, who carries a 5.37 ERA. Given his current white-hot form and locked-in role at the top of the lineup, he is an easy fantasy call. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Yandy Diaz
Yandy Díaz is scorching hot at the plate, riding a 22-game on-base streak as the first-place Rays head west.
Díaz has been dynamite at the plate, hitting .408 over his last 14 days and extending his on-base streak to 22 games. He is locked in as the everyday designated hitter for the first-place Rays, who currently lead the AL East with a 40-25 record and a three-game win streak. Despite key injuries to Craig Kimbrel and Jonny DeLuca, Díaz's elite table-setting has kept the offense rolling.
While his recent .372 average is bound for regression toward his projected .293 season mark, his sudden power surge—hitting seven homers over the last month—shows elite quality of contact. Our models project him to finish with 20 home runs and a .359 on-base percentage, which aligns with his career norms. Expect the batting average to settle, but his plate discipline and run-scoring upside remain entirely sustainable.
Tampa Bay travels to Los Angeles for a three-game series. Díaz faces Sam Aldegheri (2.45 ERA) and Jose Soriano (2.96 ERA) before a highly favorable matchup against Grayson Rodriguez (8.49 ERA) on Sunday. Given his red-hot form and strong remaining matchups, Díaz is a must-start in all fantasy formats this week.
