Week 13 Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers

Alex Kirilloff, Minnesota Twins (15% Rostered)

If you're looking for a leftie to go up against the four right-handed pitchers facing the Twins next week, you just found one. On the season, Kirilloff is slashing .272/.394/.439 with four HRs and 12 RBI through his first 36 games. Against righties, he is .305/.426/.474 with a .900 OPS. Next week's weather in the Twin Cities will be mostly sunny and in the low 80s to low 90s, which is great for Minnesota's offense.

Geraldo Perdomo, Arizona Diamondbacks (31% Rostered)

On the road during the 2023 season, switch-hitting Geraldo Perdomo has a .393 batting average with 24 hits, seven stolen bases, three HRs, 17 RBI, and 17 runs scored in 23 games. His wRC+ against right-handed pitchers when away from home is 146. In two games against the Brewers this season, Perdomo has a .333 batting average with two hits and a run scored.

Nelson Cruz, San Diego Padres (3% rostered)

Since being activated off the IL on June 13, Cruz has a .222 batting average with two hits, two HRs, and two RBI. San Diego will put the veteran slugger to good use against the Nats. He will face two out of three left-handed pitchers, one of whom will be Patrick Corbin. Against right-handed batters this year, Corbin is .312/.355/.502 and has a K rate of 13.3% at home. Next week, temperatures at Nationals Park are expected to reach the 80s, which will benefit Cruz and the Padres' offense.

Jon Berti, Miami Marlins (19% Rostered)

Jon Berti will face four right-handed pitchers when the Marlins host the Pirates next week. He has eight stolen bases on the season, seven against National League teams. In six games against the NL Central, Berti is hitting .348 with eight hits and four runs. He will likely add a couple more stolen bases to his current total of eight for the season.
