6 years agoCincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto went 2-for-4 with a homer in his team's 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Friday. The homer was Votto's third over the past week, giving him 12 on the season. While it has been a slightly disappointing season for Votto from a power standpoint, his recent power surge can give fantasy owners hope while the fantasy playoffs are in full swing. Overall, Votto is hitting .284 with an .848 OPS, 12 homers, 66 runs, and 67 RBI on the season. He will look to stay hot against Cubs lefty Jon Lester on Saturday. Votto has a .231 career batting average in 39 at-bats against Lester.--Matt T - RotoBaller
