Final week adds center on Atlanta: Baldwin and Kim anchor the Braves’ late-season push, with Baldwin delivering a breakout line (271/18 HR/75 RBI across 117 games) and a hot stretch that includes September surges against Washington and Pittsburgh; Kim follows with multi-week runtime (10 runs, 6 RBI, 304 AVG) and 2B eligibility, making them prime late-week targets.

Also in play are Reds’ Spencer Steer, Angels prospect Christian Moore, and Dylan Cruz of Washington, each carrying recent hot bats and keeper-week upside. Cleveland’s trio of pitchers Slade Cone, Parker Messick, and Joey Kantio; Royals’ Steven Kolick; Orioles’ Keegan Akin; and Braves’ Bryce Elder provide pitching streams and potential saves. Deep formats gain juice from conversions like Ian Seymour and Toronto’s rise as well.

Roster strategy: capitalize on hot bats in redraft, but preserve keeper value in dynasty; chase favorable matchups in the final slate, and sprinkle in DL-friendly or prospect-backed adds for 2026 upside. The episode emphasizes handbags of value across both hitting and pitching as the season closes.
