The first MLB game of the 2025 season is right around the corner as the Dodgers and Cubs meet in Tokyo on March 18-19. The rest of the teams get underway on league-wide Opening Day on March 27. Fantasy players will quickly get to see some of the highest-drafted players like Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Kyle Tucker, and Freddie Freeman, all expected to be top picks. Freeman recorded 199 or more hits in two out of the last three seasons and is projected with odds of +1200 to finish the 2025 regular season with the most hits.

Where should these players fit into your 2025 Fantasy baseball draft strategy and who are the top sleepers? Before finalizing your draft prep, be sure to check the rankings and cheat sheets from SportsLine’s proven computer model.

Last year, SportsLine’s model highlighted several top Fantasy sleepers, breakout stars, and busts, including Willy Adames from the Brewers. Adames navigated a robust offensive season, finishing with 32 home runs, 112 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases.

Now, the model has identified multiple sleepers for 2025 Fantasy baseball:

One notable name is Jake Burger of the Rangers who, after a breakout year, joins a stronger lineup. Another name is Seth Lugo, a former reliever turned starter who excelled in the 2024 season, earning a spot as an All-Star.
