Dylan Beavers is posting a .565 wOBA over the past seven days with three home runs, and he's sitting at 1% ownership. That's the kind of disconnect that wins waiver races. Let's get into the full picture for Thursday morning.

Today's Top Adds

Ty France (1B, SD) — 32% Owned

France is the clear priority add this morning. His strikeout rate has plummeted from 17.5% over 30 days to 11.5% in the past week, and his walk rate has exploded to 30.8% — nearly triple his 30-day mark of 12.3%. That plate discipline surge is fueling a .405 wOBA over the last seven days against a .351 monthly baseline. The .235 batting average might scare surface-level managers off, but the underlying quality of contact and selectivity say the counting stats are coming. At 32% ownership and actually trending down 4 points over the past week, this is a buy-low window that won't stay open long once the results catch up to the process. He's logged 26 plate appearances across five games — consistent playing time, real data, not a pinch-hit mirage.

Watch List

Dylan Beavers (OF, BAL)

Three home runs in five games with a .565 wOBA — up from .321 over 30 days. His strikeout rate dropped from 33.3% to 26.3% while his walk rate climbed from 6.9% to 10.5%. The power-plus-discipline combination is real. At 1% owned, he's essentially free. One more game like this and he becomes a must-add.

Patrick Bailey (C, CLE)

Bailey is slashing .385 with a .527 wOBA over five games, backed by a 31.6% walk rate that's doubled his 30-day clip of 15.4%. Catcher is a wasteland in most formats, and a hot Bailey at 1% ownership is the kind of asset that can transform a roster. The walk rate is unsustainably high, but the selectivity trend matters.

Jordan Lawlar (3B/OF, AZ)

Lawlar's wOBA jumped from .244 to .383 in a week, driven by a massive strikeout rate decline — 20.0% versus 34.8% over 30 days. He's hitting .308 with a homer across five games. At 6% owned, he's worth a speculative roster spot if he can sustain that contact improvement.

Pedro Ramírez (2B/3B, CHC)

Ramírez has dropped his strikeout rate from 21.2% to 11.5% while posting a .304 average and .387 wOBA across 26 plate appearances. Multi-position eligibility adds to his appeal. The 4% ownership reflects anonymity, not a lack of production.

Brett Bateman (OF, TOR)

A .444 average and .439 wOBA over five games at 2% owned. The zero home runs suggest contact-driven production, and the .333 30-day wOBA provides a reasonable floor. Watch for power to show up before moving aggressively.

Vaughn Grissom (1B/2B/3B, LAA)

Grissom's wOBA has surged from .303 to .385, with two homers in his last 31 plate appearances. His strikeout rate is down and his walk rate is up — the profile of a hitter making adjustments. The triple positional eligibility at 2% ownership makes him a versatile stash.

Daniel Duarte (RP, NYM)

A 60.0% strikeout rate over the past week with a -1.34 FIP. That K rate — up from 30.4% over 30 days — translates to a 20 K/9. Early signal with small-sample caveats, but elite swing-and-miss stuff like this demands attention at 5% owned.

Hogan Harris (RP, ATH)

Harris hasn't allowed a run in his last five appearances, posting a 0.00 ERA with a 40.0% K rate and 1.25 FIP. The strikeout rate is up sharply from 26.8% over 30 days. At 14% owned, he's the most rostered reliever on this list for good reason.

Elvis Alvarado (RP, ATH)

Zero ERA, 33.3% K rate, 1.10 FIP across his recent appearances. The strikeout rate hasn't moved much from his 32.0% 30-day mark, but the run prevention and FIP suggest elite-level production. Still just 2% owned — a deep-league gem if the A's give him leverage opportunities.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals were detected today. The pitching matchup data didn't trigger any two-start streamers or favorable spot starts for this window. Check back tomorrow — the weekend rotation cycle typically surfaces better options on Fridays.

Ownership Movers

Daniel Duarte leads all risers with a 2-percentage-point jump to 5% ownership. A 60.0% strikeout rate and -1.34 FIP over the past week justify every bit of that movement — and then some. He should be owned in far more leagues.

Pedro Ramírez and Brett Bateman each climbed 1 point to 4% and 2%, respectively. Ramírez's move is backed by a declining K rate and strong .387 wOBA. Bateman's .444 average is eye-catching but the lack of power keeps him in watch territory. Both ownership increases are justified by the data.

Dylan Beavers remains at 1% despite a .565 wOBA week with three homers. This is the clearest market inefficiency on the board. Vaughn Grissom hasn't moved at all at 2% despite a .385 wOBA surge and two home runs. The market is asleep on both of these names.

Quick Hits

  • Beavers' .565 wOBA represents a 76% jump from his .321 30-day mark — the largest wOBA spike on today's board, and it comes with legitimate power (3 HR) rather than BABIP luck.
  • Patrick Bailey's 31.6% walk rate is the second-highest on the report behind Ty France's 30.8%. Two hitters posting walk rates above 30% in the same cycle is unusual — both are seeing the ball exceptionally well right now.
  • Jordan Lawlar cut his strikeout rate nearly in half — from 34.8% to 20.0% — the most dramatic K-rate improvement among position players today. If that contact sticks, he's a top prospect fulfilling the promise.
  • The A's bullpen quietly has two relievers on this list: Hogan Harris (1.25 FIP, 40.0% K rate) and Elvis Alvarado (1.10 FIP, 33.3% K rate), both with 0.00 ERAs over the past week. Deep-league managers should be monitoring Oakland's leverage usage closely.
  • Daniel Duarte's -1.34 FIP is the lowest (best) figure on the entire report. Yes, it's a tiny sample. But a strikeout rate that doubles in a week — from 30.4% to 60.0% — suggests a mechanical or arsenal adjustment worth betting on early.
