It’s not often we showcase a player hitting below the Mendoza Line, but the Moose appears to have loosened up lately. In the ESPN world, Moustakas gets no respect (5.8 per cent ownership), although CBS owners have been more loyal (34 per cent). He’s 7-for-17 (.412) in his last five games with a pair of homers of and six RBI, and though he’s only batting .195 overall, that’s 50 points higher than where he was at exactly one month ago. Moustakas has 10 homers and 35 RBI on the season.

Jones has had a rough weekend against the Pale Hose so far, but he came in red hot, batting nearly .310 in the last week.

Diamond Stocks: Matt Joyce Giving Rays Glimmer of Joy

Zunino’s ESPN ownership has spiked 5.4 percentage points up to 7.4 per cent, but he has a long way to go to catch his 45 per cent mark in CBS leagues. They are more in tune with his four-homer, five-RBI surge since June 20. Zunino won’t get you average, but he’s got 11 dingers on the season. Wake up, ESPN Fantasy world!
