Outlook Isaac Paredes
Isaac Paredes stays scorching hot heading into weekend series
Isaac Paredes has been locked in over the last 14 days, slashing .353/.436/.618 with two home runs and seven runs batted in. The Astros currently sit in third place in the AL West with a 50-54 record and are riding a three-game win streak. Paredes anchors the hot corner as the everyday third baseman for Houston, remaining completely insulated from a crowded team injury report that features long-term absences.
His current stretch aligns well with his established baseline, as he boasts a .263 batting average and 14 home runs through 97 games, tracking closely with our season projections for power and on-base skills. While a .391 batting average over the last seven days hints at some batted-ball good fortune, his elite plate discipline and consistent gap-to-gap pop make this production mostly sustainable rather than a pure fluke.
Paredes and the Astros are slated for six games this week, featuring a three-game road set against the Chicago White Sox. He will get favorable looks against Davis Martin and his 1.30 WHIP alongside Sean Burke, before closing the weekend against Erick Fedde, who carries a loftier 4.27 ERA and 1.43 WHIP. With a full slate of games and strong underlying matchups, lock him into fantasy lineups everywhere. Start.

Outlook Joey Ortiz
Joey Ortiz is swinging a hot bat as the Brewers maintain momentum
Joey Ortiz has been swinging a scorching bat over the last 14 days, slashing .323/.417/.645 with two home runs, six runs batted in, and three stolen bases. The first-place Brewers sit atop the National League Central with a 64-38 record and continue to utilize Ortiz as an important piece of their infield mix, currently listed on the depth chart behind Cooper Pratt at shortstop while seeing steady playing time.
His recent tear builds nicely upon his overall body of work and our season projection of a .239 batting average with eight home runs and 12 stolen bases. While his .323 clip over the past two weeks represents a clear surge compared to his seasonal baseline, his underlying skill set provides enough speed and pop to suggest he can remain a productive fantasy contributor without suffering a severe crash.
The Brewers have a six-game week ahead, featuring three home games against the New York Mets followed by a three-game home set against the Colorado Rockies. Ortiz will face opposing starters like Tomoyuki Sugano, who carries a 5.09 ERA and 1.34 WHIP, Ryan Feltner with a 5.48 ERA, and Kyle Freeland holding a tough 7.46 ERA and 1.60 WHIP. With favorable matchups on tap and strong recent form, fantasy managers should lock him into active lineups. Start.
