Man has Scott Schebler had a nice recent streak of games or what? Over his past four games, the guy is batting .400 with four home runs and eight RBIs. That's a nice streak. And Wednesday night was probably the best of all of them, as he went 2-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI. Now yes, granted, all of his offense came from his two home runs, but that's what Schebler is good at: home runs. If you look at his numbers on the season though, it's a bit more disappointing, as he's batting just .186 on the year so far. Certainly his 23.1% strikeout rate doesn't help that, but Schebler has always had a strikeout problem. I don't necessarily think there's much here unless you're in a deep league or an NL-Only league, as I wouldn't expect Schebler to do much more than 20-25 home runs with a .240ish batting average. Nowadays, you can get that just about anywhere.

Let's take a look at some of the other performances from Wednesday's games:
