BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams
ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Herrera, like Joe listed above him, is another leadoff man whos' been performing well lately. He has been sizzling hot at the dish over the last 15 games, going 20-for-47 (.426/.491/.766) with four home runs, eight RBI, a stolen base, and a 7:5 K/BB ratio. The 29-year-old owns a .265/.322/.440 batting line with 20 doubles, 12 homers, 42 RBI, five stolen bases, and 47 runs scored across 343 at-bats this season. He's posting career-bests in Hard Hit Rate (40.4%), Strikeout Rate (15.7%), Chase Rate (30.6%), Z-Contact (85.2%), and O-Contact (67.7%).
The Phillies visit the Brewers for three games before hosting the Rockies for a four-game set to round out their week. The toughest pitcher they'll face is Brandon Woodruff, who's slated to start Monday's contest. After that, the going gets considerably less tough as they'll see Alec Bettinger, Eric Lauer, German Marquez, Austin Gomber, Kyle Freeland, and Jon Gray. Herrera, who bats left-handed, has a solid .269/.328/.398 batting line with three home runs and nine RBI on the year, against southpaws. So he'll remain atop the order against the left-handed Lauer, Gomber, and Freeland. Surprisingly, he's performed worse against right-handers with a .264/.319/.460 batting line on the season but he's also smashed nine homers and driven in 33 runs against them. Herrera is a five-category contributor and should be able to stay hot through next week. His second base eligibility gives you some roster flexibility as well.
