BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 37% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Candelario continues to show he is more than just a temporary replacement player. He has the consistent playing time and performance to warrant your attention. In the last week, Candelario is batting .280 with five runs, three doubles, and three RBI.
He continues to get on base and score runs from the two-hole in front of Nicholas Castellanos and the age-less one Victor Martinez. On the year, Candelario has 18 runs, four homers, and 14 RBI to go along with a .283 average. He is also tied for second on the team with 34 hits this year.
Candelario has reverse splits and is more successful against same-sided pitching. He is currently hitting .300 against right-handed pitchers, but only .233 against lefties. Fortunately, he will face off against four right-handed pitchers this week when he takes on Kansas City, Texas, and Seattle, none of which has elite pitching. Candelario is a great streamer choice this week.
