As the MLB season enters its final month, fantasy baseball managers are focusing on favorable September schedules. Teams like the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres are set to face weak pitching staffs, enhancing their players' fantasy potential. The Mariners, playing 10 of 16 games against the Athletics and Rockies, could see strong offensive numbers. Meanwhile, the Cardinals face a stretch of 18 games against lower-tier teams, starting against the Rockies. This period marks critical roster decisions with the end of the fantasy regular season approaching. Managers are encouraged to identify under-rostered players who may capitalize on these advantageous matchups.
