Fantasy Baseball Forecaster Week 14: June 23-29

We're almost halfway to the finish line.

Fantasy baseball's Week 14 brings us the mathematical midpoint of the 2025 season, as 50% of all games scheduled (barring postponements between now and then) will be in the books once two become official on Friday. Yes, the All-Star Game might traditionally be regarded the baseball season's "midpoint," but that usually takes place beyond the mathematical 50% point of the year.

The halfway point is a good benchmark for fantasy managers to take stock of their teams' current standing, strengths and weaknesses.

Kyle Tucker returns to Houston for the first time since his trade to the Chicago Cubs, who play three games at Daikin Park over the weekend. The No. 3 hitter in terms of fantasy points this season, Tucker was a career .275/.353/.513 hitter with 57 home runs in 325 games at Daikin. It'll also be a matchup of divisional leaders, as Tucker's Cubs lead the NL Central and the Houston Astros lead the AL West.

If the Atlanta Braves are to make up any ground in the NL East race, Week 14 is an ideal time to do it, with four road games against the division-leading New York Mets followed by three games back home against the Philadelphia Phillies. Entering play on June 20, the Braves trailed the Mets and Phillies, who are tied for the divisional lead, by 10 games.
