Starling Marte can improve batting average in weekend series against Philli

Starling Marte and the Pirates are set to take on the Philadelphia Phillies in a big weekend series. The Bucs (32-27) are six games back in the division and can take sole possession of second place if they have a big weekend. Marte (.251) will be right in the middle of the action.
Fantasy Impact:
2015 has been a breakout year for Marte. He has 12 home runs, 41 RBI and 11 stolen bases. When Andrew McCutchen was struggling to start the year, Marte carried the club offensively. If he can improve on his .251 batting average, his name could appear on the All-Star starting lineup.
