Each row is a 12-slot rank ladder (left = worst, right = best). Your slot — and any other team tied with you at the same value — lights up in your tier color. The neighbor cells above and below show the next strictly-different value, so you can see the real gap to gain a point or the cushion before losing one.

  • Cole Sands (Minnesota Twins · Closer (highest leverage)) BLUE
    Rating 2.0 · Own 1.3%
    During an eventual loss, Eric Orze tossed a clean bottom of the eighth and recorded two strikeouts.

    Rating 2.0 · Own 2.6%
    With the leverage thinned, Corbin Martin answered the call, securing his first save of the season and third of his career, retiring the side and striking out one at the bottom of the ninth versus the Dodgers’ 5-6-7 hitters.

🌱 Green-tagged FAs (upside reliever / stash):

  • Antonio Senzatela (Colorado Rockies · Stopper (unless fluid)) GREEN
    Rating 3.5 · Own 3.7%
    Called upon with two runners on and one out at the bottom of the eighth, Antonio Senzatela stranded both, benefiting from an inning-ending lineout by Mark Vientos.

    Rating 4.0 · Own 4.9%
    Putting an end to a strange night at Citi Field, Devin Williams started his entry for the ninth inning, but his teammate, Huascar Brazobán, had to face one more batter, delaying the show.

🔒 2027 Keeper Slate (top 8)

Expert-weighted: combines cost surplus (cheap keep vs. market round) with Statcast quality (xwOBA / xERA z-score), small position-scarcity nudge for C/SS, and Mookie-lock penalty. A great keeper is cheap AND elite. RPs excluded — too volatile to lock up a keeper slot. UFDA cap caps first-year UFDA keeps at 3.
