Dylan Moore DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Seattle Mariners shortstop Dylan Moore is not in Friday's lineup for the Mariners' clash against the Toronto Blue Jays. This appears to be a platoon matchup decision as Luke Raley will be playing in right field alongside Randy Arozarena and Julio Rodriguez. Moore has fared far worse against righties this season (.604 OPS) compared to lefties (1.553 OPS) while Raley succeeds far more against righties. Fantasy managers shouldn't stress much about a platoon situation, though, as Moore still has been getting starts against right-handers intermittently. The 32-year-old may not be in the lineup tomorrow against Jose Berrios but he should certainly be in the lineup Sunday against southpaw Easton Lucas.

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore turned in a big game in an 8-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. Moore went 3-for-5 with two homers and four RBI in the loss to Cincinnati. The veteran infielder provided all the offense for the Mariners, leading off the game with a homer against Reds starter Nick Lodolo and then blasting a two-run shot off Lodolo in the fifth. Moore is off to a good start in 2025, hitting .306 with four homers, eight runs, six RBI, and two steals across 36 at-bats. He is worth starting in deeper fantasy leagues while he's swinging a hot bat.

Seattle Mariners infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore is starting at third base and is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against the division-rival Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez at T-Mobile Park. It's notable with outfielder Victor Robles (shoulder) on the injured list with a serious shoulder injury that could keep him out for the majority of the season. The 32-year-old Moore will see a boost in fantasy value in deeper leagues if he gets a long look in the leadoff spot for Seattle moving forward, especially after his hot start to 2025. He's currently slashing .381/.480/.667 with a 1.147 OPS, two home runs, two RBI, two stolen bases and five runs scored in his first nine games played. Moore is especially useful in fantasy for his speed (career-high 32 swipes in 2023) and his multi-position eligibility. He's hit .192 in 26 career at-bats versus Valdez, but he does have one homer and three RBI.
