Dodgers Week 26 produced a burst of offense and steady pitching. Betts leaned into a late-season surge, reaching base frequently while Hernández launched three homers and added key multi-hit games against Rockies and Giants. Glasnow anchored a strong rotation, with Sheehan and Yamamoto contributing, and Henriquez earning his first major league win. Ohtani added run-scoring opportunities and walks, while a few roster moves refreshed the bench. Up next: a homestand against the Phillies and Giants.

The club solidified its NL West lead despite bullpen erosion at times, and the offense now looks primed to drive fantasy rosters as the postseason nears.

Expect continued run-scoring sprees from top sluggers and a rotation that can sustain wins, with weekly shifts in bullpen roles likely.

Otto Lopez has surged to a .340 over his last 14 games, giving the Marlins another versatile, multi-category contributor as they head toward the fantasy playoffs, especially with a Coors Field trip on tap. Harrison Bader has heated up since joining the Phillies, batting .352/.410/.544 with expanding power at the top of the order. Verlander continues a late-season bump for the Giants, while Tanner Bibee delivered back-to-back quality starts, including a complete game, boosting late-season trust.

Ketel Marte and Eugenio Suárez have cooled in September, threatening middle-infield and corner-depth depth, while Aaron Nola and George Kirby battle inconsistency and tougher matchups. Managers must weigh rest-of-season risk against upside in a tight fantasy race, with several hot names and a few uncertain arms shaping last-week decisions.
