As we head down the stretch, there will be teams who are trying to win every game they play, and then there will be teams who don’t care as much about Ws and Ls as they do seeing what they have on the roster. How will this influence your lineups? Help is here with this week’s hitting planner.
Jay McClain highlights hitters at each position that you should be targeting to start or sit in your fantasy lineups this week.
As we are entering the hottest point of the year, expect some bats to heat up. This is usually a time when pitchers begin to feel the effects of the long season and hitters start to see the ball better than ever, and we have outlined a few of them in this week’s hitting planner.
In this post, Jay McClain looks past this weekend and into next week to give you a head start on the hitters you should be targeting on waivers and starting/sitting in your lineups.
Don’t let these waiver wire gems be overlooked in your league. There are 5-tool outfielders, dominant starters, and even decent hitting catchers out there on waivers right now. Snatch ‘em up while you can for the stretch run.
The All-Star break is over and the second half of baseball is underway. Hopefully you are refreshed and ready to go because the season is drawing closer to its end every single day and the winner of your league is soon to be determined.

The All-Star break is just two weeks away and when running a team, you want to see who is going into the break strong and who is just coasting in. So without further ado, your hitting planner.

This scoring period marks the second full week off from interleague play before the circus gets started back up. There are many unknown players who are going to have some breakout games and give you the leg up on the competition, as outlined in this week’s hitting planner.
