For fantasy baseball enthusiasts looking to bolster their roster with potential breakout players, Scott White presents a compelling list of 10 sleeper hitters for Week 16, all under 80% ownership in CBS leagues. These players may not be must-start options, but they are poised to make significant contributions based on favorable matchups and recent performances.

Austin Hays of the Cincinnati Reds stands out with a solid 3.39 Head-to-Head points per game, and the Reds face the most favorable matchups this week. Toronto's Addison Barger has rebounded with impressive stats and will also benefit from playing against weaker pitching. Meanwhile, Miami's Kyle Stowers has found his stride and faces a schedule that includes favorable matchups against left-handed pitchers.

Other notable mentions include Joshua Lowe from the Tampa Bay Rays, who has improved his strikeout rate and is expected to maintain solid production, and Otto Lopez from Miami, who has been consistent at the plate. Cincinnati's Spencer Steer and Matt McLain are both thriving in their recent games, thanks to great matchups. Lastly, Xavier Edwards offers speed and solid batting, while Luis Garcia and Jeff McNeil from Washington and New York respectively could also be valuable adds this scoring period.

Today's MLB player prop bets highlight several players poised for home runs, with a focus on Cam Smith, Jo Adell, and Matt McLain. Smith, currently playing for the Houston Astros, has shown impressive power with four homers in the last two weeks and faces a pitcher prone to giving up home runs. Adell, of the Los Angeles Angels, is in solid form, hitting 11 homers in June alone. Meanwhile, McLain has a strong matchup against a pitcher struggling against right-handed hitters, making him a valuable bet for home runs.

Other players to consider include Willy Adames from the San Francisco Giants and Josh Bell of the Washington Nationals, both of whom have favorable conditions for hitting home runs today. It's crucial to assess the betting odds and shop around for the best prices before placing any wagers.

As the MLB season reaches mid-June, performance trends are starting to crystallize. Aaron Judge’s astonishing .400 batting average and the Chicago Cubs boasting the best offense are standout narratives this season. However, several established players are underwhelming, raising concerns for both their teams and fantasy owners.

Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox is struggling with a .185 batting average, severely impacting his trade value. Zac Gallen of the Arizona Diamondbacks is underperforming with a 5.14 ERA, jeopardizing his free-agent status next season. Willy Adames is having a tough time with the San Francisco Giants, hitting just .203, while Matt McLain’s return from injury has been disappointing at .184. Lastly, Sandy Alcántara, the former Cy Young winner, has seen a decline in performance despite a return from surgery.

Matt McLain of the Cincinnati Reds is facing a challenging slump, registering a .175 batting average and a concerning 31% strikeout rate. His recent performance has led to him being benched multiple times, casting doubt on his contributions to the Reds' inconsistent lineup.

Despite these struggles, manager Terry Francona remains optimistic, viewing McLain's resilience and work ethic as indicators of a potential turnaround. McLain himself draws from past experiences, using them as motivation to break free from this slump. He's focusing on improving his plate discipline, continuing to maintain his defensive prowess, and remaining steadfast in his belief that a breakthrough is imminent.

As Memorial Day approaches, it's time to evaluate your Sorare MLB lineups for potential upgrades, holds, and downgrades. Seiya Suzuki of the Chicago Cubs is on the rise, benefiting from increased talent around him, while Jacob Wilson of the Athletics has excelled since his promotion. MacKenzie Gore, now with the Washington Nationals, shows promise with his impressive strikeout rate. Conversely, players like Paul Goldschmidt and Kris Bubic present mixed signals, suggesting they should be held but monitored closely for performance consistency. Downgrades to consider include Jameson Taillon and Kyren Paris, whose recent struggles indicate it may be time to pivot.
