Outlook Coby Mayo
Coby Mayo's late-season power surge solidifies his everyday lineup presence
Mayo has caught fire over the past two weeks, slashing .306/.375/.500 with two home runs and eight RBIs over his last 14 games. With Luis Robert Jr. and Tyler O'Neill sidelined on the injured list, Mayo has cemented consistent playing time as Baltimore's primary designated hitter. Even with the fifth-place Orioles enduring a six-game skid at 69-75, Mayo continues to provide a vital power spark in the middle of the lineup.
His late-season surge marks a noticeable step forward from his full-season .222 batting average, though his 19 home runs on the year validate his immense raw power. Much of this sustained success stems from completely dominating left-handed pitching, where he maintains an OPS over 1.000 with prolific extra-base pop. While high strikeout totals hint at some batting average regression against right-handers, our models view his current power trajectory as legitimate.
Baltimore faces a six-game slate this week, opening with three home games against Cleveland before heading to Toronto. Mayo draws favorable matchups against Guardians southpaws Joey Cantillo (4.00 ERA) and Foster Griffin, followed by vulnerable Blue Jays starters Max Scherzer (6.03 ERA) and Spencer Arrighetti (5.12 ERA). Despite a tough weekend finale against Dylan Cease, Mayo's splits and power make him a high-upside play. Start.

Outlook Eugenio Suarez
Eugenio Suárez surges with timely power as the Reds hit the road
Suárez has caught fire at the plate, swatting six home runs with 21 RBI and a .382 OBP over his last 30 days, highlighted by a recent milestone blast tying Ken Griffey Jr. on the Reds' all-time leaderboard. Operating as Cincinnati's everyday third baseman with Ke'Bryan Hayes sidelined, he continues to supply steady power for a fifth-place Reds club sitting at 69-74 on a two-game winning streak.
While his season-long .209 batting average carries clear ratio risk, Suárez's recent power surge aligns well with our baseline projection of 22 long balls. He continues to strike out at a high clip, but his disciplined .357 on-base percentage over the last two weeks confirms this hot stretch is built on genuine plate patience rather than pure luck.
The Reds embark on a six-game road swing featuring a brutal front half in Los Angeles against Tarik Skubal (2.91 ERA) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.67 ERA). However, the matchups ease significantly over the weekend against Milwaukee's hittable arms like Dustin May (4.78 ERA) and Shane Drohan (4.18 ERA). Keep him locked in for power-hungry lineups. Start.
