5 years agoOakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano went 3-for-4 with a home run and three runs scored Wednesday vs the Mariners. Laureano has been on fire lately batting .368 with a .842 slugging percentage since June 30. Laureano has been a solid fantasy contributor this season with 19 home runs and 12 stolen bases in 95 games. Despite the hot streak, Laureano is only making hard contact at a 31.1 percent rate and has been the beneficiary of a 41.7 percent home run to fly-ball rate. Those numbers are due for a bit of regression, but he's worth starting in fantasy to ride the hot bat. Laureano is set for a four-game weekend series in Minnesota against four right-handed pitchers.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
