Outlook Jung Hoo Lee
Jung Hoo Lee is the hottest hitter in baseball, riding a massive hitting streak that makes him an elite weekly play.
Lee has been absolutely on fire, batting .400 (10-for-25) over his last seven days and extending an incredible hitting streak that highlights his elite contact skills. The fourth-place Giants (29-43) welcomed him back from a brief IL stint for a back strain, and he has immediately locked back into his everyday starting role in right field.
While his current .331 season average and recent .480 mark over the last month are boosted by an incredibly hot run, Lee is a legitimate elite contact hitter whose career .266 average is rising rapidly. Our projection expects him to settle around a .263 batting average rest-of-season, but his microscopic strikeout rate keeps his fantasy floor exceptionally high.
San Francisco plays six road games this week, starting with a series against Atlanta where Lee will face vulnerable pitchers Grant Holmes and JR Ritchie before a tougher matchup against Max Meyer in Miami. Given his historic hot streak and favorable matchups, he is an undeniable must-play this week. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Kazuma Okamoto
Kazuma Okamoto's Raw Power Demands Active Lineup Status
Kazuma Okamoto continues to flash massive power for the third-place Blue Jays (34-38), who are looking to snap a two-game skid. Over his last 14 days, Toronto's everyday starting third baseman has been on fire, batting .333 with three homers and nine RBI. His robust production is especially crucial now as co-star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. deals with lower back tightness.
Okamoto's recent hot streak has raised his season total to 15 home runs over 70 games. While his career .235 batting average suggests some regression from his recent high-average surge, our models project him to finish with 18 home runs and a stable .249 average over 457 at-bats. The immense power is entirely legitimate, cementing him as a high-upside corner-infield asset.
Toronto faces a six-game road trip this week with matchups against Boston and Chicago. Okamoto will face a mixed bag of pitchers, including highly vulnerable arms like Jake Bennett (5.28 ERA) and Colin Rea (5.53 ERA), though he must also navigate tough aces like Ben Brown. Given his current hot hand and six guaranteed starts, he remains a locked-in weekly Start.
