Paul Goldschmidt Fantasy

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had a big hit on Sunday, going 1-for-5 with a three run home run. "Goldy" hit his fourth homer of the season off Jon Lester in the third inning. The three RBI gives Goldschmidt 14 on the season to go with his .317 batting average and .966 OPS. He's looking like the Paul Goldschmidt that played on the Diamondbacks for years and should be started in all formats of fantasy.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidts production has not been fazed by the oddity of the 2020 year. Entering Thursday leading the Majors with a .478 on-base percentage, Goldschmidt is among the games elite, posting a .426 wOBA and .429 xwOBA. While usually an excellent source of walks, Goldschmidt has eschewed strikeouts this season as well, having amassed the top BB% in the Majors (20.9%), all while striking out at an elite 12.2% of the time. In addition to the numbers that he has already produced, the fact that St. Louis will be playing games at a torrid pace during September should only work to improve his value, as hell also have the benefit of slotting in as the DH. He will play 10 games over the next seven days as of Friday, making him arguably the top first baseman in all season-long formats.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt reached base four times on Saturday, officially going 1-for-1 but walking three times. His hit was a single, so Goldschmidt, who also played first base on defense, must have become quite familiar with that part of the diamond. "Goldy" looks much more like himself this year (in a small sample size) than he did last year. He'll head into his next game with a .347 batting average and a .982 OPS.
