Father time has not slowed the bat of contact maven Adrian Beltre, with the Texas Rangers' veteran stroking a cool .300 batting average to open his age-39 season. A lack of thump (.125 isolated slugging) has kept his FanDuel salary from getting out of hand, though, a trend which daily players can exploit in Week 4, especially with Beltre's eye-popping 42.9% hard-hit rate and 34.3% line-drive rate indicating that there should be some gaudier production on the horizon.
Beltre's platoon splits aren't all that stark, with the infielder slashing a respectable .291/.343/.469 against righties over the past three seasons. Beltre has four righties on the slate in Week 4, including Erasmo Ramirez and erstwhile ace Felix Hernandez, making the wily veteran a very strong mid-priced play.
