Outlook Zach Neto

Zach Neto's massive power surge makes him a must-start despite batting average risks and a tough weekend matchup.

Zach Neto has been swinging a hot bat, blasting three home runs and stealing two bases over his last six games. After a brief headache precaution, he has returned as the everyday starting shortstop for the fifth-place Angels (27-42). With several teammates on the injured list, Neto is locked into a premium lineup spot.

Neto's power is no fluke; he has seven home runs over his last 30 days, carrying a strong .527 slugging percentage. While his current .229 average is down from last year's .257 mark, our models project him to finish around .250 with 20 home runs. His speed has slowed, but the power gains keep him highly valuable.

To finish the week, the Angels host Tampa Bay. Neto faces a tough matchup Friday against ace Shane McClanahan (2.85 ERA) before a friendlier draw Saturday against Griffin Jax (4.17 ERA). Despite the difficult opener, his category-stuffing upside makes him an easy option. Verdict: Start.
