Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 43 percent of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: Shortstop has been a stronger position in fantasy than usual this season, but it's still surprising to see Marcus Semien available in the majority of leagues. After all, he's hit more homers than Carlos Correa and driven in more runs than Francisco Lindor and Corey Seager. Semien ranks in the top 10 at the position in all of the standard categories except for batting average. He's hit .286 in June, however, thanks to a normalized BABIP and a marked decrease in strikeout rate. After posting a lousy .207 average in April, he's hit .266 since. the Athletics' shortstop is on pace f0r 30 homers and double-digit steals, yet he's owned in significantly fewer leagues than Addison Russell, Starlin Castro, or Elvis Andrus. Grab him while you can.
