Carlos Beltran flashes power
by Chris Zolli | Tue, May 31st 6:14pm EDT
Carlos Beltran only has a .190 batting average over the last seven days, but has a ..274 batting average in May and has home runs in two of his last three games. Beltran has 12 home runs this season, good for eighth in the American League, and has 17 extra-base hits this month. He has an .828 OPS this season.
Fantasy Impact:
Beltran is the premier pickup of the night for Tuesday, as he has three home runs in 30 at-bats against Tuesday's starter for the Blue Jays, J.A. Happ, and has been the best power hitter in the American League this month. He only has a .747 OPS against left-handed pitchers, but his success against Happ and .830 OPS in road games make him a good OF2 tonight. For season long leagues, take a flier on Beltran's power.
