EDGE Analysis

Conforto has gone yard twice over his last five games, accounting for half of his hits in that span.

He's also been on the bench more often versus southpaws in August. Conforto has offered decent power this year with 14 homers and a .444 slugging percentage through 104 contests, but he's batting just .237 with 53 RBI and 40 runs scored.
