Milwaukee Brewers

Last year, Lucroy got 23 of his 33 extra-base hits either up the middle or to the opposite field, and that's where he has hit most of his deepest flies this season, as shown on the spray charts on TexasLeaguers.com. It's only a matter of time before he finds the gaps and hits a few more balls over the wall. And don't worry about Lucroy making contact; he is striking out at a lower rate this season than last.

Lucroy is currently starting in only 59 percent of the leagues on CBSSports.com, but given that he could bust out at any time, more owners should be getting him into their lineups.

Ramirez took starter Jaime Garcia deep twice for a pair of three-run home runs. He finished 2 for 4 with two runs scored and six RBI in a 7-6 defeat.

Ramirez has gone 3 for 15 in his last four games played. He is hitting .327 with three home runs and 12 RBI in 49 at-bats.

Last season, Rodriguez notched a strikeout per inning, and his ERA would have been considerably lower than 4.38 if not for a 69 percent strand rate. However, Rodriguez relied on a higher rate of foul balls to maintain his K-rate, and meanwhile, his swinging strike rate fell from 13 percent in 2011 to 9 percent in 2012.

Unless Rodriguez can find a way to avoid contact at a higher rate, he could have a hard time maintaining a high strikeout rate. At risk of allowing more hits and runs, Rodriguez could be a very ordinary reliever this year -- and one not quite effective enough to hold down a prominent role.

While three runs in five innings is by no means great, it's a step up from the 10-run shellacking Burgos endured in his last start. He'll look for a win Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Betancourt had actually went hitless in six of his seven games heading into Thursday. The solid performance gives him a .239/.268/.455 line with eight home runs in 142 plate appearances. He'll attempt to build upon Thursday's game when the team faces the Cardinals this weekend.
