Sorare MLB Picks for GW40 Jul 27-31

View picks by fixture →

Top pick of the week

Andrés Muñoz

Pick Andrés Muñoz because he posts the highest projections across the board, with The Sorare Edge at 30.5 and Sorare itself at 38.1, implying the biggest upside of the bunch. He does carry usage risk with only five appearances in the last 15 game weeks, but the models are still banking on strong per-appearance output, which is exactly what you want from a captain when you need ceiling. Esmerlyn Valdez and Willson Contreras loom as the floor plays since they are regulars in the starting lineup and carry high model confidence, but both trail Muñoz’s projections and so offer less upside. Devin Williams and David Bednar are the most similar comparables as relievers with limited recent appearances, yet neither matches Muñoz’s projected output, which leaves them a step behind for captain duties today.

🏆 Top picks

1
Andrés Muñoz Sorare card

Muñoz is a true boom-or-bust late-inning option whose per-appearance ceiling makes him tempting in tournaments, and the projections back that up with Sorare at 38.1 points and Sorare Edge at 30.5. He has five appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is modest because usage is uneven, but when he does enter a game he carries the kind of save and strikeout upside that can flip a slate. The model's confidence is MEDIUM, which argues for treating him as a volatility play rather than a must-start in cash contests.

2
Esmerlyn Valdez Sorare card

Valdez has been as reliable as they come, with 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and what looks like a locked spot in the Pittsburgh starting lineup, which gives him a steady floor for counting stats. The projections are bullish too, with Sorare Edge at 29.8 points and Sorare itself at 36.0, and model confidence flagged as HIGH, so the upside feels credible rather than speculative. As an outfielder who is starting every day, treat him as a low-risk fantasy starter with solid ceiling potential rather than a boom-or-bust flier.

3
Devin Williams Sorare card

Devin Williams offers a clear upside play this week, with Sorare pegging him at 37.0 points and the Edge projection at 29.6, so he profiles as a high-ceiling relief option for tournaments. He has made six appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which shows he is in the Mets' mix but not locked into volume enough to erase volatility, and the model's medium confidence underlines that his floor is uneven. Treat him as a payoff arm when you need strikeout and clean-inning upside, but temper expectations in cash-lineups where steady workload matters more.

4
David Bednar Sorare card

David Bednar of the New York Yankees is a clear upside play in relief, with Sorare projecting 36.7 points and the Sorare Edge number at 29.4, figures that imply a ceiling well above typical middle-reliever returns. He has five appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his usage is real but somewhat intermittent, and the model's MEDIUM confidence points to volatility rather than a guaranteed floor. Use him when you need bullpen upside and can stomach some swinginess; those projections make him an attractive high-upside option, but owners chasing steady, low-variance points should be cautious.

5
Willson Contreras Sorare card

Willson Contreras is a high-upside first base option this slate, with Sorare pegs of 36.5 points and a Sorare Edge projection of 29.2, and the model carrying high confidence. He has ten appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which points to a secure role and a reasonable floor for first-base power and on-base value, while the projections suggest a strong chance of a game-breaking outing. Treat him as a mid-to-high tier start with more upside than safety; the probability is tilted toward payoff, but some variance should be expected.

🔥 Starting Pitchers (SP)

1
Brayan Bello Sorare card

Brayan Bello brings genuine upside as a Boston Red Sox starting pitcher, with Sorare projecting 34.7 points and the Sorare Edge at 27.8, figures that point to a big ceiling when he gets a turn. He has two appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so the floor is suppressed by recent inactivity and rotation uncertainty. Use him as a calculated, upside-driven start rather than a guaranteed floor piece; the model's medium confidence means reward is plausible but not assured.

2
Luis Morales Sorare card

Sorare's projection places Luis Morales at 30.2 points while Sorare Edge sits at 24.2, figures that suggest a real ceiling for a starting pitcher rather than a desperation arm. That upside comes with a clear caveat, he has 0 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and model confidence is MEDIUM, so his floor is uneven until he reestablishes a routine on the bump. Use Morales as a high-upside option in deeper formats or as a spot start when you can tolerate volatility, because the projection gap rewards the gamble but you should expect some risk until he logs innings.

3
Adrian Houser Sorare card

Adrian Houser for the San Francisco Giants jumps off the board because the projections are meaningful, with Sorare Edge at 23.4 points and Sorare itself even higher at 29.2, numbers that put him squarely in streamer-start consideration. The usage note is real though, he has made three appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is capped by rotation uncertainty and you should expect volatility if that pattern continues. Model confidence is medium, so treat him as a medium-risk, medium-reward option best used when you can gamble on innings and counting-stat upside rather than as a lineup anchor.

4
Javier Assad Sorare card

What stands out with Javier Assad is the upside on the board, with Sorare's projection at 27.7 points putting him in range of a high-leverage start for the slate. The Sorare Edge figure of 22.1 and a model confidence rated MEDIUM temper that optimism, so expect a meaningful probability of a quality outing alongside a nontrivial chance of variance. He has three appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so the recent workload is light and his floor is lower than a steady-rotation arm, but the ceiling makes him worth rostering when you need a swing at a big start.

5
Bradley Blalock Sorare card

Both Sorare Edge and Sorare peg Bradley Blalock at 20.0 points, which is a tidy projection for a starting pitcher and suggests a real ceiling if he nails the outing. That upside is tempered by zero appearances in the last 15 game weeks and a medium model confidence, so treat him more as a swing or streaming option than a must-start. Use him when you need a high-upside start and can tolerate a modest floor, but favor steadier arms when you need reliability.

Garrett Whitlock Sorare card

Whitlock's biggest selling point is usage. He has nine appearances in the last 15 game weeks for the Boston Red Sox, which gives him a dependable floor as a reliever and real chances to pile up fantasy points. The market agrees, with Sorare Edge at 26.7 and Sorare's model at 32.8 and model confidence HIGH, so he profiles as a strong streaming or rostered reliever with upside on any multi-strikeout or high-leverage night, rather than a boom-or-bust dart.

5
Gregory Soto Sorare card

What jumps off the page is the upside in the projections. Sorare pegs Soto at 33.0 points with the Edge at 26.4, numbers that make him an intriguing bullpen option when he's active. He has five appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which signals a usable but not guaranteed relief role with the Pittsburgh Pirates, so expect swingy outcomes between a modest floor and a meaningful ceiling. Model confidence is medium, so treat him as a high-upside streaming candidate rather than a safety play.

Rafael Devers Sorare card

Availability and projection line up in his favor; he has 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, Sorare's own projection is 32.5 pts and the Sorare Edge projection is 26.0 pts, with model confidence HIGH. Those numbers point to a high floor for a first baseman and a legit ceiling when he gets the right matchups, making him a reliable plug-in for lineups that need steady production and upside. Expect some variance from game to game, but the probability tilts toward above-average returns rather than a one-off dud.

Luis García Jr. Sorare card

What makes Luis García Jr. an easy start is his near-daily presence in the lineup, 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which points to a secure first base role and steady opportunity for counting stats. Sorare Edge gives him 25.7 points while Sorare's own projection sits at 32.1, and the model's HIGH confidence suggests a dependable floor with upside on any given slate. If you need steady at-bats and run-production potential in the starting lineup, he profiles as a core option rather than a boom-or-bust dart, with a realistic chance to clear his baseline when the matchup and timing line up.

Paul Goldschmidt Sorare card

Availability is the immediate selling point here: Paul Goldschmidt has made 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and Model confidence HIGH, so you can bank on regular looks at first base. Sorare pegs him at 31.3 points and the Sorare Edge sits at 25.1, which translates to a safe mid-20s floor with a realistic low-30s ceiling on any given slate. That combination of steady playing time and strong projections makes him an easy start in formats that prize a dependable bat in the starting lineup.

Sal Stewart Sorare card

15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks mean Stewart has been an everyday presence at first base for the Cincinnati Reds, which gives him a reliable baseline for fantasy lineups. His Sorare Edge projection is 23.4 pts and Sorare's own model sits at 29.2 pts, with model confidence HIGH, so you are buying into volume and upside more than volatility. Treat him as a steady weekly start at the position; the projections point to a stronger ceiling than downside and make him a sensible anchor for week-to-week lineups.

🧤 Third Base (3B)

1
José Ramírez Sorare card

The projections are the headline: Sorare pegs Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez at 30.6 points with the Edge model at 24.5, signaling real counting-stat upside this week. That ceiling comes with a caveat, he has only two appearances in the last 15 game weeks and the model confidence is medium, so his floor is capped and you should confirm he is in the starting lineup before locking him in. When active those projections imply the sort of power and on-base profile that produces homers, RBI and runs, so he is a strong start in formats that reward counting stats if you can stomach some short-term volatility.

2
Manny Machado Sorare card

What jumps off the page is availability: Manny Machado has 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so you can count on him to eat consistent innings and plate appearances. Sorare's Edge puts him at 24.3 points and Sorare itself at 29.4, with model confidence HIGH, which means his ceiling is real while the floor stays respectable for cash games. As San Diego's regular third baseman, he is a reliable starting lineup option when you need steady run-production upside and a low-risk anchor.

3
Austin Riley Sorare card

Availability is the clearest edge here: 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks for Atlanta's third baseman make Riley a near-lock to be in the lineup and give you a steady floor. Sorare Edge lands him at 23.9 points while Sorare's own projection is even loftier at 29.8 points, and the model confidence is HIGH, so the analytics are stacking in favor of meaningful upside. He profiles as a high-floor, high-ceiling start this week, with the odds tilted toward a productive outing rather than a dud.

Blaze Jordan Sorare card

Blaze Jordan profiles as a high-upside start this week, with Sorare Edge at 20.8 points and Sorare's own projection even higher at 26.0, and the model tagging him with HIGH confidence. Ten appearances in the last 15 game weeks indicate he is regularly in the St. Louis Cardinals starting lineup, so the probability leans toward him getting the opportunity to convert that upside into counting stats. That usage gives a respectable floor while the strong projections suggest a ceiling worthy of a start in lineup-sensitive formats, with the only real caveat being intermittent rest rather than a production concern.

Nolan Arenado Sorare card

Nolan Arenado's most compelling trait right now is reliability: he has 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and is clearly a regular in Arizona's plans, which gives him a high baseline for fantasy lineups. Sorare Edge assigns 20.6 points and Sorare 23.3, with model confidence HIGH, so the analytics back a strong floor and real upside this slate. As a third baseman with the power and run-producing profile managers covet, treat him as a dependable start who still carries upside to outpace those projections if he heats up at the plate.

Daylen Lile Sorare card

Availability is the clearest edge here, Daylen Lile has 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks as Washington's designated hitter, which translates into a reliably involved bat every day. Sorare's own projection sits at 31.9 points while the Sorare Edge shows 25.5, and the model is reporting high confidence, so his ceiling on any given slate looks comfortably above most midrange options and his floor is bolstered by steady plate appearances. Treat him as a safe, high-floor start when you need dependable scoring, with upside to break into the 30s rather than a volatile big-play flier.

Dominic Canzone Sorare card

Dominic Canzone brings clear upside as Seattle's designated hitter, carrying a Sorare projection of 29.2 points alongside a 23.4-point Sorare Edge and model confidence flagged as HIGH. With appearances in the last 15 game weeks: 12, he looks firmly planted in the starting lineup, which gives him a sturdier floor than a true fringe bat. Start him for power and run-production upside; the projections point to a solid probability of payoff, though expect some variance week to week.

Ivan Herrera Sorare card

What jumps out is the upside baked into the projections; Sorare's own forecast sits at 29.2 points while the Edge view is 23.4, and model confidence is HIGH. Add 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and his role as St. Louis' Designated Hitter looks secure, which should give you a reliable floor of plate appearances and a clear path to the counting stats those projections assume. Treat him as a high-floor, high-ceiling start this slate, remembering that projections are probabilistic and not guarantees.

Jonah Heim Sorare card

Availability is the headline here; 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks show the Athletics are regularly using Heim as their Designated Hitter, which immediately lifts his fantasy floor. The projections back that up, with Sorare Edge at 20.1 points and Sorare's own model higher at 25.1, and the model confidence flagged as HIGH. That mix of steady playing time and bullish projections gives him a reliable baseline and a plausible upside if he heats up, making him an easy start in formats that prize consistent at bats.

Yandy Díaz Sorare card

Yandy Díaz's biggest asset is role security; he has 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks as Tampa Bay's designated hitter, so you get a steady floor from regular plate appearances. Sorare Edge projects 19.8 points and Sorare's own model sits at 24.8, and with model confidence HIGH those numbers point to a strong probability of above-average fantasy returns this slate. He is a low-risk option to plug into your starting lineup most days, with enough upside to justify starting in formats that reward consistent at-bats.

1
Jeremy Peña Sorare card

Jeremy Peña stands out this slate on projection alone, with Sorare's Edge at 23.9 points and Sorare's own forecast at 29.9, and the model's confidence flagged as high. He has made eight appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so there is some spot-start risk, but those projections suggest a dependable floor and a real upside if he strings a couple of productive outings together. Treat him as a starter in weekly formats where those projected point totals matter, while keeping an eye on late scratches that would erode his ceiling.

2
Willy Adames Sorare card

What makes Adames most appealing is that he has been in the lineup every day, logging appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives you a dependable floor you can roster without sweating late scratches. Projections back that steadiness, with Sorare Edge at 21.8 points and Sorare itself at 27.3, and model confidence listed as HIGH, so you are buying both reliable volume and real upside. As a shortstop with that kind of ceiling versus many positional alternatives, he is a sensible start when you need steady production, while still carrying the usual day-to-day variance all hitters do.

Dansby Swanson Sorare card

He has been a near-everyday presence for Chicago, with 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a dependable floor at shortstop. Sorare Edge projects 20.5 points while Sorare pegs him higher at 25.4, and the model confidence is HIGH, so you can lean on him as a reliable starter with clear upside into the mid-20s. Start him in lineups that need steady shortstop production; the odds favor steady returns rather than boom-or-bust variance.

Jim Jarvis Sorare card

Durability is the hook here: Jim Jarvis has posted 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, giving him a dependable playing-time floor at shortstop. His Sorare Edge projection of 19.3 points and Sorare's own 24.1-point forecast, paired with model confidence rated HIGH, point to a reliable ceiling you can trust more than usual. He profiles as a strong starting lineup option for cash formats thanks to that steadiness, while managers chasing upside will like the projection gap enough to consider him in tournament builds.

Masyn Winn Sorare card

Masyn Winn, the St. Louis Cardinals shortstop, is appealing most for his steady role and availability; he has 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a dependable fantasy floor. Both projections like him, with Sorare Edge at 18.9 points and Sorare itself at 23.6, signaling a real ceiling on any given slate and plenty of weekly upside. With model confidence high, treat Winn as a safe starting option who carries upside to outperform his baseline rather than a boom-or-bust dart throw.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Sorare card

Jazz Chisholm Jr. offers an attractive blend of steady usage and projection upside at second base for the New York Yankees, which makes him a strong play when you need dependable counting production. He has 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, a run of involvement that underpins a solid floor for fantasy managers. His Sorare Edge projection sits at 26.2 points while Sorare pegs him at 32.8, and with model confidence high those numbers read as a reliable baseline plus real upside, though you should still account for normal week-to-week variance.

Brice Turang Sorare card

Availability is Turang's biggest asset right now, he has 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and the model is high on his role and minutes. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 24.1 points while Sorare's own model pegs him at 29.5, which signals a reliable floor for a second baseman and a reasonable ceiling for lineup fills. Treat him as a safe, regular start who rarely hurts you and can pop for a strong day if the batted-ball luck falls his way.

Nico Hoerner Sorare card

Hoerner is essentially a fixture in the starting lineup, with 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which buys him dependable plate exposure and a solid floor for counting stats at second base. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 23.6 points while Sorare itself projects 29.5, and with model confidence rated HIGH you should expect the lower mark to be a reliable baseline and the higher number to be a realistic upside on his better weeks. Treat him as a steady, low-variance start: you are banking on everyday opportunity more than one-off fireworks, but the projection gap means he can surprise upward often enough to justify starting in most formats.

4
Pedro Ramirez Sorare card

Chicago Cubs second baseman Pedro Ramirez is primarily a projection play; Sorare Edge gives him 23.5 points and Sorare itself 29.4, with model confidence HIGH, which translates to a legitimately strong ceiling for the position. He has eight appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so he’s seen regular action but not fully locked into a guaranteed role, meaning his floor is a bit capped. If he’s in the starting lineup you can chase upside with reasonable confidence, while rostering him otherwise is more of a swing for the ceiling than a safety pick.

Ketel Marte Sorare card

Availability is the headline here; 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and high model confidence make Marte a reliably playable second baseman for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Sorare Edge pegs him at 20.6 points while Sorare's own projection sits at 25.7, numbers that suggest a steady floor with a realistic ceiling for counting stats. Start him when you want dependable production rather than gambling on a one-game breakout.

🧤 Catcher (C)

1
Yainer Diaz Sorare card

Yainer Diaz stands out more for dependable opportunity than flash, with 11 appearances in the last 15 game weeks for the Houston Astros and strong projections backing him; Sorare pegs him at 21.4 pts while the Sorare Edge sees 17.1 pts and the model confidence is HIGH. That workload and high-confidence outlook lift his floor above most streaming catchers, while the 21.4 projection gives him real ceiling value at a position where consistent production is scarce. Start him when you need a steady backstop with upside, knowing the probability favors positive contributions but occasional week-to-week variance is still possible.

2
Daniel Susac Sorare card

What jumps out is the upside baked into the projections, with Sorare Edge at 16.7 points and Sorare itself higher at 20.8 points, and the underlying model carrying high confidence. He has only three appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is capped by usage risk until he settles into more regular starts, but if he does draw starting lineup duty his projected scoring gives him a clear ceiling for catcher eligibility. Treat him as a buy-high on upside rather than a guaranteed plug-and-play; the probability favors payoff when he gets consistent reps, but you should hedge around his current rotation uncertainty.

3
Mitch Garver Sorare card

Sorare's own projection puts Mitch Garver up at 16.6 points while the Sorare Edge model sits at 13.2, so the topline numbers make him an intriguing source of fantasy upside at catcher. He has six appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which keeps his floor lower than a locked-in backstop, but that same volatility means a start can produce above-average returns given how scarce catcher production is. With model confidence at medium, treat Garver as a high-upside, moderate-probability play you roster when you need pop from the position rather than a dependable weekly anchor.

Austin Wells Sorare card

Wells' standout trait right now is availability and role security, with 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks giving him a reliable floor at a thin position. The projections support that trust, with Sorare Edge at 12.2 points and Sorare itself at 15.2, and the model flags high confidence that he will deliver fantasy-relevant production. He profiles as a high-floor, medium-ceiling catcher you can comfortably start in most formats where steady at-bats matter, even if he is unlikely to provide the occasional explosive upside of a power-hitting outfielder.

Logan O'Hoppe Sorare card

O'Hoppe has carved out a steady role behind the plate with 10 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a reliable floor at a position that often lacks dependable production. Sorare pegs him at 15.2 points while the Sorare Edge projection sits at 12.2, and with model confidence high you can treat that range as a realistic expectation rather than a blind gamble. He carries meaningful upside if he strings a couple of bigger offensive games, but managers should expect steady, measured returns more often than one-off fireworks.

🌾 Outfield (OF)

1
Esmerlyn Valdez Sorare card

Valdez has been as reliable as they come, with 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and what looks like a locked spot in the Pittsburgh starting lineup, which gives him a steady floor for counting stats. The projections are bullish too, with Sorare Edge at 29.8 points and Sorare itself at 36.0, and model confidence flagged as HIGH, so the upside feels credible rather than speculative. As an outfielder who is starting every day, treat him as a low-risk fantasy starter with solid ceiling potential rather than a boom-or-bust flier.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Sorare card

Availability is the headline here: 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks shows C-Arm is living in the starting lineup and getting steady plate opportunities. Sorare's models buy what his playing time promises, with an Edge projection of 28.9 pts and a more aggressive projection at 36.1 pts, and model confidence flagged as HIGH, so his upside looks realistic rather than speculative. Treat him as a reliable floor option with clear ceiling appeal in formats that reward counting stats, while accepting normal day-to-day hitting variance.

Julio Rodríguez Sorare card

Mariners outfielder Julio Rodríguez still carries significant upside despite only five appearances in the last 15 game weeks, with Sorare's forecast at 35.0 points and the Sorare Edge putting him at 28.0. Model confidence is HIGH, which strengthens the case that his ceiling is real and that he can pay off as a game-changing start when he plays. The tradeoff is clear: target him for upside given his power and on-base profile, but accept a trimmed floor because of the recent limited usage.

Jarren Duran Sorare card

Availability is the selling point: Duran has 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which translates into a dependable floor thanks to regular duty in Boston's starting lineup. His Sorare Edge projection sits at 26.2 points while Sorare itself pegs him at 32.8, and the model flags HIGH confidence, so the upside is real and the probability of a useful fantasy day is strong. He is a sensible start when you need steady production, with enough ceiling that he can deliver an above-average return on a busy slate.

Trent Grisham Sorare card

The clearest edge here is availability and role stability: Trent Grisham has made 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks for the New York Yankees, which buys you steady plate appearances and a dependable floor. Sorare Edge pegs him at 25.2 points and Sorare's own model sits at 31.5, with model confidence rated high, so there is measurable upside baked into rostering him this slate. Expect a conservative baseline from regular starts and a meaningful ceiling if he strings together productive games, making him an appealing, lower-risk start with tangible upside.

Willson Contreras Sorare card

Willson Contreras is a high-upside first base option this slate, with Sorare pegs of 36.5 points and a Sorare Edge projection of 29.2, and the model carrying high confidence. He has ten appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which points to a secure role and a reasonable floor for first-base power and on-base value, while the projections suggest a strong chance of a game-breaking outing. Treat him as a mid-to-high tier start with more upside than safety; the probability is tilted toward payoff, but some variance should be expected.

Andrés Muñoz Sorare card

Muñoz is a true boom-or-bust late-inning option whose per-appearance ceiling makes him tempting in tournaments, and the projections back that up with Sorare at 38.1 points and Sorare Edge at 30.5. He has five appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is modest because usage is uneven, but when he does enter a game he carries the kind of save and strikeout upside that can flip a slate. The model's confidence is MEDIUM, which argues for treating him as a volatility play rather than a must-start in cash contests.

Devin Williams Sorare card

Devin Williams offers a clear upside play this week, with Sorare pegging him at 37.0 points and the Edge projection at 29.6, so he profiles as a high-ceiling relief option for tournaments. He has made six appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which shows he is in the Mets' mix but not locked into volume enough to erase volatility, and the model's medium confidence underlines that his floor is uneven. Treat him as a payoff arm when you need strikeout and clean-inning upside, but temper expectations in cash-lineups where steady workload matters more.

David Bednar Sorare card

David Bednar of the New York Yankees is a clear upside play in relief, with Sorare projecting 36.7 points and the Sorare Edge number at 29.4, figures that imply a ceiling well above typical middle-reliever returns. He has five appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his usage is real but somewhat intermittent, and the model's MEDIUM confidence points to volatility rather than a guaranteed floor. Use him when you need bullpen upside and can stomach some swinginess; those projections make him an attractive high-upside option, but owners chasing steady, low-variance points should be cautious.
