Mitch Moreland (1B, BOS) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 32% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Mitch Moreland has been an intermittently useful fantasy bat for the past decade, with four 20+ home run seasons to his credit despite only once eclipsing 500 at-bats in a season. Last year, he hit 19 homers in just 335 plate appearances, and he already has six in 43 trips to the plate thus far in 2020.

The 34-year-old remains an iffy proposition against southpaws, and typically sits against them as a result. If he can continue to mash righties, though, that won't keep him from being valuable to fantasy owners. Despite a robust .300/.349/.775 line and a prominent spot in the Red Sox lineup, Moreland remains available to add in over two-thirds of Yahoo leagues.
