BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 5% of leagues
ANALYSIS: In the last 30 days, Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Daniel Palka has compiled seven HR with 17 RBI and a .306 AVG. The important thing to know is that he has very unique splits. At home, he is a .277 hitter that only generates 33% hard-hit rate and his swing is catered toward a ground ball result (46%).
Contrarily, on the road, his swings generate more fly balls (44%) and hard-hit rate (43%), resulting in more homers (15), but it comes at the expense of his batting average (.201). So, identify what category you need when you put him in the lineup of your deep league. Fortunately, Palka faces very good matchups this week with a series in Detroit followed by a home series against the Royals.
