Welcome to the final draft sleeper series, where I go through every MLB team to find one sleeper you should be drafting in fantasy baseball this year. The NL West is the last one on our list.The NL West features plenty of superstars who are going early in drafts. Mookie Betts, Corbin Carroll, Freddie Freeman, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Shohei Ohtani are all going in the first 15 picks. Of those five players, Betts and Carroll are likely the most valuable fantasy players in the division.However, ...

Finding players who hit for a high batting average isn't always easy in fantasy baseball. It's what makes Ronald Acuna Jr. and Freddie Freeman so valuable. Not only do they hit for power, but they both batted at least .331 last season.In total, there were only nine qualifying batters who hit at least .300 last season. Working our way down even further, only 11 total players hit at least .290.For those who have worked their way through the early part of their fantasy baseball drafts and find ...

Fantasy managers have become accustomed to multi-hit games and a .900 OPS from Los Angeles Dodgers first basemanFreddie Freeman, and he did just that and more in April and May. However, the month of June has been a slow one thus far for the three-time Silver Slugger. Freeman has multiple hits in just three of 18 games since the beginning of the month, and he's recorded just six extra-base hits (two doubles and four homers) in that span while walking eight times and striking out 17. That's an ...

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a run scored, and a walk in a 9-0 shutout win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The Dodgers were all over Aaron Nola in this one, jumping on him for six earned runs. Freeman did his part with an RBI single to score Mookie Betts in the top of the third inning. He later walked and came around to score on a J.D. Martinez home run in the top of the seventh. The 33-year-old veteran is now slashing a ridiculous ...

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (neck) remains in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. The left-handed slugger continues to play despite dealing with neck stiffness over the last few days. The fact Freeman continues to play means that it's likely a minor issue. The 33-year-old saw his 20-game hitting streak come to an end on Friday. He'll bat second and cover first base versus right-hander Gerrit Cole on Saturday.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman hit his 300th career home run on Thursday in a 16-8 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Freeman did it in style, too, mashing a grand slam to hit the milestone. He ended up going 2-for-5 with a homer, a triple, a run, and four RBI. He's having another stellar season, which is to be expected from the stalwart. He is slashing .313/.382/.536 with eight homers, 36 runs, 27 RBI, and six stolen bases. The lefty has an outside shot at a 20/20 season with ...

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman went 2-for-3 with his seventh home run of the season, a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk on Friday night in the team's 4-2 win over the division-rival San Diego Padres. Freeman's power stroke has been solid so far in 2023, and he's currently hitting .297 (46-for-155) with 12 doubles, seven home runs, 20 RBI, five stolen bases and 31 runs scored in his first 39 games over 176 plate appearances. The six-time All-Star continues to be one ...

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman swiped his first bag of the season in Thursday night's 6-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. At the plate, Freeman went hitless in four at-bats with one walk. While the 33-year-old left-handed slugger didn't get a hit in the game, he extended his on-base streak to six games with a free pass. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Freeman to best his career-high 13 stolen bases from a year ago, but it's nice to see him swipe a bag every now and then to ...

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a walk in a 13-4 beatdown of the Colorado Rockies on Monday night. It's really no surprise that Freeman has gone 8-for-19 (.421) with a double to begin the season, but the left-handed slugger is still searching for his first home run and RBI on the season after five games. He's also scored four runs, walked four times and struck out three times in 23 plate appearances. The 33-year-old's home runs ...

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (hamstring) made his return to the team's Cactus League lineup as the designated hitter on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox and went 2-for-2 with a run scored and a walk in the team's 6-4 victory. The plan is for Freeman to play first base on Sunday after he was pulled from Team Canada's game in the World Baseball Classic earlier in the week due to a tight hamstring. The 33-year-old's injury was considered minor, and he's fully expected to...
