McLain's xwOBA (.327) has been tracking above his actual production (.300 wOBA) all season — FanGraphs flagged this as a player who should be doing more than his surface stats show. The last eight games look like the market correcting: 3 homers, 3 steals, and a 1.150 OPS. This week's schedule runs through Great American Ballpark and Yankee Stadium, two of the best hitters' venues in baseball. At 38% owned, the add window is right now.

McLain's underlying swing metrics are quietly improving — the hard-hit rate is ticking up and the strikeout rate is stabilizing after a rough April. At 18% owned he's delivering real 2B eligibility with legitimate stolen-base and home-run upside in a lineup that generates counting stats. The floor is real and the ceiling is almost entirely unexploited at this ownership.
