Anthony Rizzo Remains On-Base Savant In 2020
4 years agoChicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo has always been adept at drawing walks, but through the early part of the 2020 season, he is on pace for a career-best 15.7% BB rate. His .375 on-base percentage through his first 27 games is in line with his career total (.373), but his lack of extra-base power has stunted his fantasy output. The sample size is small, but Rizzo has been better on the road this season (.936 OPS), which works in his favor with away series against Detroit, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh on the horizon. Depending on how the rotations break for those clubs, Rizzo should have numerous above average matchups in that stretch, making him a highly sought-after season-long and DFS commodity.
