Top Hitter Streamers and Starts for Fantasy Baseball - Week 14
Have we found a reasonable median expectation for offense moving forward? So far in July, the offensive output has been remarkably similar, though power still remains down compared to previous seasons.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/8/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups
We were really close to getting a full 15-game slate, but the Reds and Rays are playing a 6:40 PM game, meaning we have "only" 14 games on the main slate instead.
