The M's Just Took Boston 3-1, But You Won't BELIEVE What Paul Goldschmidt Is Doing Right Now

Okay, Emerald City, listen up! Our Seattle Mariners just came out of that series with a 3-1 win over the Boston Red Sox, and you know what? That’s the kind of gritty baseball we bleed for! But while we're hyped for our boys, the rest of the league ain't sleeping. You gotta see some of the crazy numbers popping up from other bats around MLB right now. Whether you're fine-tuning your fantasy roster or just keeping tabs on who's tearing it up out there, there are some serious sleeper hitters making noise heading into Week 14, June 22-28. We're talking about guys who could absolutely explode.

Goldschmidt and Bohm: Hitting Like It's Their Job (Because It Is!)

First up, let’s talk Paul Goldschmidt. This dude, out there for the Yankees, is 38 years old but you wouldn't know it from his bat in June! He's batting a ridiculous .333 with six dingers and a .970 OPS this month alone. Seriously, how is he only rostered in 50 percent of leagues? What gives? Even with what's projected as the second-worst schedule for hitters this upcoming week, five left-handers on the slate make him a must-watch. Goldschmidt has been an absolute lefty killer this year, hitting .386 off them with an insane 1.219 OPS. That’s just straight up filthy. Then there’s Alec Bohm from the Phillies. You might glance at his overall stats and miss it, but over his last 38 games, the man is batting .298 with eight bombs and an .855 OPS. That's a significant hot streak! He's heading into the most hitter

Nootbaar, Dubon, and Jordan: Who's Next to Catch Fire?

Don’t sleep on Lars Nootbaar over in St. Louis either. Since coming back from dual heel surgery, he’s been absolutely throttling the ball, rocking a 94.9 mph average exit velocity. Plus, he's still walking at his usual high rate. With the second-best hitter schedule for Week 14 and only one lefty pitcher on the docket, Nootbaar could be in for a monster stretch. Mauricio Dubon from the Braves has been playing that Swiss army knife role, and he’s been especially productive this month. In his last 15 games in June, Dubon is batting .310 with four homers. The Braves just barely missed the top-five hitter matchups, but facing guys like Griffin Canning, Randy Vasquez, Trevor McDonald, and a struggling Michael King is still a sweet setup. And for the Cardinals again, keep an eye on Blaze Jordan. He's made the transition to starting third base look easy, combining high exit velocities with a low strikeout rate, just like he did in the minors. The Cards’ matchups this week, featuring Merrill Kelly, Zac Gallen, Ryan Gusto, and Tyler Phillips, make it the perfect time for him to really show out. So yeah, while our Mariners are out there doing their thing, shutting down the Red Sox and looking strong, there's plenty of action across the league. As we push through Week 14, June 22-28, it’s all about staying sharp and knowing who’s primed to deliver. Let's go, M's!
