Rougned Odor Fantasy

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor kick-started a six-run rally against the Colorado Rockies with a two-run home run on Wednesday. After striking out and grounding out in his first two at-bats, Odor hit Daniel Bard's pitch over the fences and drove in Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the bottom of the sixth inning. The second baseman is up to 9 RBI this spring and looks like a lock to make the Opening Day roster unless something spectacular happens over the next three weeks. Odor is hoping to bounce back from a 2019 season that saw him post his lowest OPS (.721) since his rookie season. An early-season slump could see the Rangers look to Danny Santana or Nick Solak as a replacement for the sixth-year player.

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor hit a first-inning grand slam in his team's 13-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. After Elvis Andrus, Nick Solak, and Joey Gallo all made it on base, Odor launched Colin Rea's 3-1 pitch over the right-field wall to clear the bases. Odor finished the day 3-for-3 with a single and a double to go with his HR and is up to six RBI through three games this spring. His low batting average and on-base percentage have pushed his ADP down to 224 this draft season. Still, if you need some late power and steals, the six-year veteran is a player to take a chance on. The second baseman has hit 30 HRs in three of the previous four seasons and has at least 11 stolen bases in four-straight seasons.

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored Tuesday night vs Boston. It was a typical Odor night as the free-swinger struck out twice and walked twice in addition to connecting for his 28th homer of the season. Odor has struggled mightily at times this season and is batting just .202 thanks to an astronomical 30.3 percent strikeout rate, but has been hot lately. In September, Odor has hit six home runs in 18 games and his 58 percent hard-hit rate is easily the highest of any month he's had. Throw in a 48 percent fly-ball rate and Odor has been a sneaky source of power late in the season. He's a strong DFS play Wednesday against Rick Porcello who has allowed 14 runs in 19 innings this month.
