6 years agoHouston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will take a nine-game hitting streak into Friday night's game against the Tigers. Altuve is 12-for-37 (.324) during the streak with one double, two home runs, three runs batted in and seven runs scored. Altuve currently leads the league with 126 hits this season and the reigning MVP again is an elite fantasy force. Altuve will face Tigers expected starter, and ex-teammate, right-hander Mike Fiers on Friday. Altuve has torched right-handed pitching this season, slashing .350/.413/.507 through 274 at-bats this season. Altuve is a must-start in all formats.--Joey C - RotoBaller
