Ozzie Albies or Gleyber Torres

So, Who's Better?

DFS Contests

Both Albies and Torres are 28 year-old second basemen with above-average fantasy tools. They're also quite streaky so, for daily leagues, ALWAYS check today's matchup before you lock in your lineups. Regarding speed, again, similar deal -- you'll get around 10 bags from each during a full season so don't rely on a steal in DFS.

Split-wise, Ozzie is a switch-hitter and hits much better against lefties (we're talkin' .920 lifetime OPS vs .750 against righties). That's huge. That number alone should sway you to go with Albies whenever he's facing a LHP.

Roto Leagues

Over the course of a full fantasy season, the big (new) factor here is Gleyber's recent trade to the Tigers. He'll be going from a hitter's haven (Bronx) to Comerica, one of the worst-hitting parks in the bigs, especially for big flies. So, we wouldn't be surprised to see his HR total in 2025 dip into the low teens.

With Albies, it's almost always about the injury risk. He seems to miss about a third of most seasons (from a variety of injuries too). When at full strength, his per-game splits are elite, especially in that Braves lineup. Overall, we're fine taking that risk with Albies in the 4th round, and definitely if he falls into the 5th or later.
