The Orioles lost to the Angels 5-4 Sunday night in 11 thrilling innings. The loss was not because of Machado who recorded two hits in five appearances and pushed his modest hit streak to six. Machado also picked up his 71st run of the year and is continuing to thrive in the lead-off spot.
Fantasy Impact
Machado has been hot over the past week batting .429 with 12 hits over his last 28 plate appearances. Now is the time to buy into Machado for DFS as he looks to be starting up a wicked hot streak. Look for a power surge from Machcado as well to add onto his 24 bombs. He is batting .301 on the season and has identical numbers against righties and lefties.
