Cal Raleigh tied Mickey Mantle’s legendary 54-homer season by belting his 54th switch-hitter homer, lifting Seattle to an 11-2 win over the Angels and sole possession of the AL West lead. George Kirby piled up 14 strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings as the Mariners closed out a four-game sweep and extended their home dominance. Three doubles from Jorge Polanco and a late-inning ankle tweak for Yoán Moncada added intrigue, while Angels’ Christian Moore and Oswald Peraza went deep in a lopsided defensive night. Raleigh’s blast also capped a strong power-night that kept Seattle’s offense humming as the next rotation lanes open with Gilbert and Wacha slated to face Kansas City and Milwaukee, respectively.

Two-start upside dominates this week’s fantasy slate as waiver-wire movement finally bears fruit. Kyle Bradish tops the list, delivering front‑line reliability since TJ surgery and eyeing a favorable pair with Chicago and New York. Emmet Sheehan has cemented himself as Dodgers’ best rookie starter, while Michael Wacha brings steady ERA/WHIP in home-friendly games. Connelly Early adds a tantalizing immediate upside despite stern early matchups.

In hitter land, Daulton Varsho’s late‑season power surge fuels a seven-game week, Daylen Lile cleanly anchors Washington’s lineup, and Heriberto Hernandez profits from regular playing time in Colorado’s openers. Austin Hays stays steady for RBIs and runs across a busy week. A parallel thread spotlights one-start streamers to squeeze value from the final stretch and maximize seven‑game weeks.

Bottom line: streaming and roster pruning are the order of the week. Target high‑upside arms and batters with multiple games, while rotating in fresh arms from the waiver wire who can deliver in two starts and avoid negative matchups. One‑start streamers offer additional flexibility, but the core is extracting value from a realistic, high-floor two-start window.
