Whit Merrifield has caught fire recently, as he’s hitting .405 with a .524 slugging percentage and a .937 OPS over his last 10 games. With that being said, he only owns three extra-base hits (one home run), six RBIs, and one stolen base over that span. Merrifield has also struggled a bit with 38% hard hit and 53% ground ball rates to go along with a 90 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. He gets a terrible matchup against Pablo Lopez, who has looked outstanding in Miami this season. Merrifield also brings -0.008 wOBA and -0.081 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching. He has scored double-digit fantasy points in 5 of his last 10 games, and the under is the most likely scenario in this particular matchup.
Austin Meadows is another player that has found plenty of success recently, posting a .333 average with a .769 slugging percentage and a 1.165 OPS over his last 10 games. He boasts nine extra-base hits (four home runs), eight RBIs, and one stolen base in those contests, as well. He’s also averaging a healthy 18.8 fantasy points per game over his last 5 games. Over the last 15 days, Meadows possesses 42% hard hit and 48% fly ball rates with a 94 MPH exit velocity.

Furthermore, Meadows is hitting for a .444/.889/1.405 line through 13 games against the Toronto Blue Jays this season. He’s averaging 15.2 fantasy points per game in those contests, and he makes an elite option on this slate.
