Morel Homers in Cubs' Shutout Victory Over Orioles
by Jesse Garcia | Rays Correspondent | Thu, Jul 11th 8:10am EDT
Christopher Morel contributed to the Cubs' 4-0 win over the Orioles with a modest yet impactful performance, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing slightly uplifts his rather tepid .200 batting average for the season. Morel's power stroke has been evident with 16 homers, but his overall production has been hampered by a high strikeout rate and low BABIP (.220). While the home run adds a positive note to his fantasy value, his inconsistency at the plate makes him a risky play in most fantasy formats. Owners should consider Morel a potential boom-or-bust option, depending on matchup and league depth.
