OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: There is little mystery to what you are going to get with Khris Davis. He's going to strikeout a bunch (24.4 career K%), average somewhere in the .250 range and hit some deep home runs. In his four years in the MLB, he has averaged 31 HR over a 162-game span. With seven homers on the season already, Davis is on pace to hit 38 HR this year, though his average is below his usual standards at the moment at .222. Four of Davis’ seven homers have come in just 31 AB in May. He has been a streaky hitter throughout his career, so it would be wise to pick him up while power is flowing. With just three walks and 31 strikeouts on the season, Davis is going to have a hard time getting pitches to hit at this rate, but as long as the hot stretch continues, he should be started in most leagues.
