MLB:
With Contreras leading STL in homers and RBIs, how might his absence affect lineup optimization for fantasy teams?
Qwiket AI:
An absence could elevate the value of players hitting directly behind or around Contreras, like Goldschmidt or Arenado-like catalysts, depending on lineup order. Knizner’s increased plate appearances could create a temporary streaming option, and Gorman’s versatility could open more daily bat opportunities. Fantasy squads should monitor STL’s daily lineup updates and exploit favorable matchups.
