Power surge continues in win
Raley went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over Houston.
Analysis
The 31-year-old outfielder is surging in the power department, crushing five homers in his last eight games. Raley is firmly working himself onto fantasy radars, slashing .300/.364/.657 with seven big flies, two doubles, one triple and 20 RBI over his last 26 contests (78 plate appearances) to raise his season OPS to .922. However, the left-handed-hitting Raley has taken a mere four at-bats versus southpaws this year, which could make it more difficult to roster him in mixed leagues.

Launches homer in extra-inning loss
Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros.
Analysis
Raley has four homers over his last seven games, accounting for all but one of his hits in that span. He's added 11 RBI during the resurgence at the plate after an ice-cold end to April. Overall, he's batting .262 with a .901 OPS, nine homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 38 contests. Raley will likely continue to hold the platoon advantage over Rob Refsnyder for starts in right field.

Powers offense in win
Raley went 2-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI during Friday's 12-8 victory over the White Sox.
Analysis
After striking out in his first at-bat, Raley took advantage of his bases-loaded opportunity in the third and hit a grand slam off starter Sean Burke to give Seattle a 5-1 lead. The Sox caught up within half an inning, but Raley's three-run homer off Tyler Davis in the seventh put the M's ahead 9-5 and ensured Chicago would trail for the rest of the game. Now with eight homers on the season, Raley has surpassed Cal Raleigh to claim the highest total on the team.
