Adam Laroche
Laroche has been putting up big numbers since the All-Star Break and deserves to be starting in all mixed formats. During the second-half he is batting .303 with 10 home runs. Look for Laroche to continue to produce over the last four weeks of the season, making him a preferable option to teammate Mark Reynolds.
Travis Hafner
The former stud is proving that his stroke isn't completely lost. Hafner has hit .391 over his past six games and looks like a potential sleeper for this week. He added three RBI's and two runs during this fantasy scoring period and could be a guy to use in deeper mixed leagues. Look for Hafner to produce as a stopgap option this week.
Hunter Pence
Pence, like Laroche, is making up for lost time in the second-half. He has hit .331 since the break while adding nine home runs to his resume. Pence has been one of the few Astros worth using in mixed fantasy leagues and he will continue to be through the end of the season. Pence should be owned and starting in all mixed formats from here on out.
