Sorare baseball-16-20-jul-2026 picks: MLB

That 31.1-point projection jumps off the page for a reliever with upside, making Cole Sands an intriguing dart throw if you need a high-ceiling arm. He has not appeared in the last 15 game weeks, so availability and role are the real questions and the floor is decidedly thin until he returns to the mound. The model's medium confidence suggests a moderate chance this pays off, so treat him as a tournament piece or a deep-league speculative add rather than a safe rostered arm.

Durability is the headline here, with Marte showing up in all of the last 15 game weeks and giving you a reliable presence at second base. The Sorare Edge projects him around 30.1 points and the site itself pegs him even higher at 37.4, and the model's high confidence suggests that floor-versus-ceiling swings should skew toward the safer side. He profiles as a dependable option with a solid floor and a legitimate upside if matchups and lineup consistency stay in his favor.

Baker pops on the radar because the projections peg real upside for a Rays reliever, with Sorare scoring him 37.0 and Edge at 29.6, numbers that suggest a ceiling worth chasing. He has only five appearances across the last 15 weeks, so his fantasy value hinges on getting used; that limited workload keeps his floor modest while preserving upside when he does pitch. The model's confidence is medium, so treat him as a swing-for-the-fences relief option rather than a safe lock, roster him in tournaments or as a matchup-dependent streamer when Tampa Bay's late innings look favorable.

Valdez's biggest selling point is availability, not flash; he's made an appearance in each of the last 15 game weeks, which turns him into a dependable outfield option you can plug in without guessing about playing time. The Sorare Edge lays him at 28.7 points while Sorare's internal projection sits at 33.8, and the model flags high confidence, so you are buying a player with a sturdy floor and a believable ceiling. That profile makes him a comfortable midrange start most days, with upside to outperform when things go his way but limited downside thanks to that steady workload.

Sorare pegs Jansen at 35.7 points, comfortably above the Edge line of 28.6, making him a clear high-upside relief play on paper. He has been used five times in the last 15 game weeks, so Detroit is getting him into games with some regularity and that usage gives him a respectable floor for fantasy managers chasing saves or high-leverage innings. Model confidence is medium, so expect some variance, but the projections and recent appearances make him an attractive gamble when you need a reliever with ceiling.

If you need a reliever who actually sees the ball, Hunter Gaddis is worth rostering now; he has appeared in nine of the last 15 weeks for the Cleveland Guardians and comes with a strong Sorare projection of 32.4 points. Even The Sorare Edge number of 27.5 and the model's high confidence reinforce that his role looks secure enough to deliver a dependable floor, while the higher projection leaves room for upside on any given outing. Treat him as a playable midweek or streaming option who carries a solid probability of steady fantasy production when he is called into the mix.

Availability is Merrill's clearest selling point; he has appeared in all 15 of the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a real baseline you can rely on. The Sorare Edge pegs him at 26.4 points and Sorare's own model at 32.2, and with model confidence flagged high that projection gap reads like legitimate upside rather than noise. Start him as a steady outfield option when you need a dependable floor and a plausible ceiling for tournament or cash play, recognizing the projection implies a strong probability of a useful fantasy day.

What stands out is availability and predictability; Arenado has been in the lineup 14 of the last 15 weeks, and the model's high confidence suggests you are buying a secure everyday third baseman for Arizona. The projections favor him too, with Sorare Edge at 26.2 points and Sorare's own forecast even higher at 32.8, pointing to a solid ceiling if he continues to produce. That combination of steady playing time and bullish projections gives him a reliable floor and a clear upside, making him an easy start in formats that prize consistent production.

Dingler's clearest asset is availability and role stability, logging appearances in 13 of the last 15 weeks as Detroit's primary designated hitter and delivering a dependable baseline of plate appearances. Sorare pegs him at 25.9 points while its internal projection sits even higher at 32.4, and the platform flags HIGH confidence, which makes him an attractive start when you want steady counting stats. He offers a low-risk floor thanks to regular at-bats and a realistic ceiling for a few boom weeks that can tilt head-to-head matchups.

Availability is Turang's calling card, with appearances in 14 of the last 15 game weeks giving fantasy managers a reliable presence at second base. The Sorare Edge pegs him at 25.7 points and Sorare's own model sits even higher at 28.8, and the high confidence attached to that projection raises the probability that he'll hit a meaningful weekly ceiling rather than busting out. Treat him as a steady-start option: his baseline is safe because he's in the lineup, while the projection and confidence point to real upside in weekly formats.

Tyler Locklear's headline number is a 25.6-point Sorare projection, the same result from both Edge and Sorare's own models, which puts a meaningful ceiling on a first baseman's fantasy profile. The model flags medium confidence, so he rates as an upside play rather than a no-brainer, best deployed in lineups that can tolerate some variance in exchange for run-production upside. If you need a tournament-style target or a deeper-league starter who can spike your lineup, Locklear is worth consideration.

Sorare is clearly bullish on Guerrero Jr. this week, with an Edge projection of 25.6 and a platform projection of 32.0, and the model flags him with high confidence. He has been reliably in the mix, appearing in 14 of the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a dependable floor in weekly formats while preserving a healthy ceiling if those projections materialize. Slot him in as your primary first baseman for lineup construction, accepting some natural variance but banking on steady counting chances and a strong probability of delivering solid fantasy return.

If you need a high-upside bullpen option, Sabrowski's recent workload is the selling point. He has made eight appearances over the last 15 weeks, and Sorare's projection of 32.7 points (with a conservative Edge at 26.2) indicates a clear ceiling when he lands in late-inning duty. Model confidence sits at medium, so treat him as a swing start with a reasonable floor thanks to steady usage and a meaningful chance at game-changing fantasy output.

The headline is the projection: Sorare pegs Elmer Rodríguez at 25.4 points, which puts him squarely in play as a starting pitcher with meaningful upside if he slots into a normal starter's workload. He has not appeared in the last 15 game weeks, so the upside comes with real variance; the model's medium confidence suggests a reasonable chance he hits that ceiling but also a nontrivial probability of an uneven outing. Treat him as a medium-risk, medium-reward option who is worth starting in matchups where you need strikeout and innings upside, but expect some volatility until he re-establishes consistent work.

Dylan Lee profiles as a high-upside bullpen flier thanks to strong projections that lean toward production rather than mere volume, with Sorare putting him at 30.7 points and The Sorare Edge at 24.5. He has seen the mound seven times over the last 15 weeks, which signals a manager who will deploy him in real game situations instead of burying him on the inactive list, so his ceiling is reachable if those appearances come in favorable matchups. Model confidence is medium, so expect some week-to-week volatility; he is best used as a spot starter in relief-heavy formats or a gamble pickup when you want upside rather than a guaranteed floor.

What makes John Schreiber interesting right now is the upside baked into the projections: The Sorare Edge puts him at 24.5 points while Sorare's main model goes as high as 30.6, marking him as a reliever who can deliver a mismatched boost when he gets the call. He has appeared six times across the last 15 game weeks, so he is being used enough to matter but not so frequently that his outings are guaranteed, and the model's medium confidence flags some volatility around that upside. Treat him as a matchup-dependent play with real ceiling value for tournaments and weekly lineups, but be cautious in cash formats where a steadier floor is preferred.
