Jake Cave DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake Cave posted his best game as a Rockie on Saturday, tallying four hits, including a two-run homer, and collecting three RBI in the Rockies' 9-2 win over the New York Yankees. Cave added an RBI single and a double as part of his four-hit game. The lefty has mainly been used as a platoon option against righties and has been heating up over the past couple months, posting a .744 OPS in July and an 1.015 OPS in August after Saturday's game. Though the Rockies have been working to give their younger guys a shot at playing time, it hasn't affected Cave's availability much, making him an intriguing fantasy option and an under-the-radar DFS option. Expect Cave to be in the Rockies' lineup on Sunday against Yankees' right-hander Marcus Stroman.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake Cave went 2-for-2 with a double and home run to lead the Rockies to a victory on Friday night. He also tallied three RBI. Cave replaced Sean Bouchard in the seventh inning and made an impact right away as he launched a leadoff double. He then scored off an Ezequiel Tovar single. Later in the eighth, Cave launched a three-run shot that scored Brendan Rodgers and Michael Toglia. The 31-year-old has enjoyed a nice power surge as of late, launching two of his three long balls this season over the past three games. Cave is worth a look in deeper leagues during this hot stretch and could be a sneaky play in DFS at the hitter-friendly Coors Field this weekend.
