David Peralta Excelling Out Of Cleanup Spot
4 years agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta has shaken off early season struggles to have become a beacon of production out of the cleanup spot in 2020. In the 10 games that Peralta has hit fourth this year, he is slashing .386/.413/.523, a marked improvement after having been moved down in the order early on. His drastic splits -- .890 OPS vs. RHP, .522 vs. LHP -- makes for difficult season-long ownership across the board, but his DFS price tag has remained steady. Swinging and missing just 14.8% of the time, Peralta has taken a leap forward offensively this year; he plays his next 10 games against the pedestrian starting staffs of Colorado and San Francisco, which gives him increased short-term fantasy intrigue.
