Pickups of the Day for September 24th

  • If you are reading this article it means you are likely still competing in your MLB fantasy season.  With six days left in the season and if you are in daily transaction league, the waiver wire is very thin.  You should be looking at what categories you can make marginal gains in, like a few runs, RBIs, wins or strikeouts.  So let’s take a look at a few under the radar players the rest of your league is likely sleeping on.

    Jonathan Aranda – 1B – TB – 3% Yahoo, 24% FanTrax, 12% CBS

    Since being called up Arranda has started sixteen of twenty-four games for the Rays, but more importantly fourteen of the last sixteen.  He has hit cleanup in seven straight games.  Since being called up on August 31st, Arranda has a .274/.333/.582 slash line with twelve runs, five home runs and ten RBIs in just 62 at bats.  Arranda bats left-handed and is unfortunately scheduled to face left Tarik Skubal on Tuesday, but after that the Rays end the year with five straight right-handed starters so he should play every game.  If you are looking for some runs, RBIs and maybe a home run or two, Arranda is an under the radar play this last week.

    League Size Recommendation: All leagues
