Marte targets a pitcher with limited MLB exposure in Angels' ballpark, leaning on his right-handed power against a sinker/slider mix. The pick hinges on Marte’s ability to time a slider and lift it, with Angel Stadium’s environment offering an outsized homer risk. A deep-cut play that rewards if Marte connects, while offering a high-variance payoff in a pitcher-friendly slate otherwise.

Marte returns from a PED-related suspension to post strong numbers: 192 at-bats over 28 runs, 13 doubles, 9 homers, 7 steals, and a 292 average with solid OBP/SLG. His speed and power, plus outfield eligibility, positions him as a long-term asset with immediate value for Cincinnati's playoff push.

Marte contributed to Cincinnati’s late-game pressure with a base-hit sequence that helped spark the unearned run in the ninth, underscoring his growing role in the Reds’ young core and offensive upside.

Marte’s ninth homer of the year added to Cincinnati’s late-inning threat, reinforcing his role as a rookie-hurdle with legit power. His presence in the lineup supports Reds' upside in fantasy deep-roster formats, especially in keepers where his long-term trajectory matters.

Marte has been a steady 5-category contributor, delivering two homers in a short span and consistently hitting for power and average. Across the last two weeks, he’s been among the week's top roster additions and remains a prime target in Week 21 due to his multi-position eligibility and consistent production.
