Outlook Jacob Wilson
Jacob Wilson continues sizzling stretch at the plate heading into late July
Wilson has been tearing the cover off the ball over the last 14 days, slashing an incredible .405/.419/.667 with three home runs and six runs batted in. He anchors the hot corner for an Athletics squad currently sitting in fourth place in the AL West with a 43-59 record. Despite the team's struggles in the standings, Wilson remains locked into an everyday role and recently made a pair of highlight-reel plays in the field to cement his value.
His recent tear builds upon a strong 2026 campaign where he has batted .291 with seven long balls and 32 runs batted in across 62 games, showing steady growth from his breakout year. While his walk rate remains low during this hot streak, his elite contact skills and .322 on-base percentage provide a reliable offensive baseline that our data models view as highly sustainable rather than a temporary fluke.
Our weekly projection expects Wilson to chip in with two home runs and three runs batted in over the coming slate of games. His consistent bat-to-ball ability makes him an essential piece for your active lineup decisions this week. Start.

Outlook Jacob Webb
Jacob Webb navigating recent volatility as a high-leverage bullpen option for the Cubs
Jacob Webb has pitched to a 0.00 ERA with 3 strikeouts and 2 walks over his last 14 days, though he is coming off a frustrating outing against the Blue Jays where he shouldered a late-inning loss. The Cubs currently sit in second place in the NL Central with a 57-45 record, relying on Webb in key setup situations out of a bullpen heavily impacted by injuries to other arms.
His 3.24 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 44 games this season align closely with our models, though his 1.56 WHIP across the last fortnight indicates he is still navigating too much traffic on the bases. While his strikeout rate remains strong at over 11 punchouts per nine innings, his underlying metrics suggest some regression risk if he continues to run elevated base runner rates.
The Cubs have a six-game road trip ahead, opening with a series against the Pirates at PNC Park where Webb will look to lock down holds and high-leverage outs. Facing a Pittsburgh squad that features arms like Jared Jones, Paul Skenes, and Braxton Ashcraft, the matchups will require clean execution out of the bullpen. Hold.
