Overview
- SportsLine’s projection model, promoted for correctly fading Spencer Strider in 2025 and backing Jacob Wilson, is publishing 2026 rankings and cheat sheets refreshed multiple times a day.
- The model flags Brewers right‑hander Jacob Misiorowski and Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso as overvalued at current ADP, while elevating Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo and Reds first baseman Sal Stewart as breakout targets.
- New FantasyPros guidance urges caution on Pete Crow‑Armstrong after a stark second‑half drop, tempers expectations for Cal Raleigh following his 60‑homer year, and labels Oneil Cruz a rebound bet with batting‑average risk.
- Experts highlight late and sleeper starting pitchers, with Brewers righty Chad Patrick confirmed for the rotation and touted as a deep value, alongside upside cases like Bubba Chandler and a bounce‑back play on Bailey Ober.
- Position and risk profiles are shaping strategy, with FantasyPros pointing to safer mid‑round values such as William Contreras at catcher and outlining high‑variance bets including Ronald Acuna Jr., Corbin Carroll, Yordan Alvarez, Corey Seager and Munetaka Murakami.
