Ratings Boost Probability: High
-Jason Kipnis - He got a plus-one boost last week, but he's done nothing but continue to hit.
-Ryan Braun - He was stripped of Gold status earlier in the year, but not many players have hit the ball better than Braun the past month.
-Kris Bryant - Bryant got a plus-two boost last week, but I still feel confident projecting him to get another upgrade.
Prince Fielder - Fielder is back and healthy and he's been annihilating the ball as of late.
-Brandon Crawford - This is probably a little overdue as Crawford is hitting .350 the last month.
-Dexter Fowler - Fowler just has a good mix of power and speed going this year.
-Brandon Belt - Belt is crushing the ball in May, and it seems maybe he's putting it together.
-Shelby Miller - Miller had the near no-hitter and has just been really good. Based on his price in the marketplace, most others think he's getting a boost as well.
-A.J. Burnett - Burnett is another one people in the marketplace are already expecting to get a ratings boost. It's fair at this point, his numbers are silly.
-Jason Hammel - Hammel has just been really good this year, and even better over the past month.
-Mike Bolsinger - Bolsinger is rolling. He's 27 and not a hot-shot prospect, but I would still be a little surprised if he doesn't get a boost.
-James Paxton - Paxton is just having a solid year. This is maybe the one I feel least confident about in this category, but he still seems like a solid candidate for a boost.
Ratings Boost Probability: Moderate
-Bryce Harper - He probably deserves a boost every week until he reaches Diamond status, but since he just received a boost last week it's hard to feel 100 percent certain he'll get boosted again.
-Nelson Cruz - Again, it's fair to say Cruz could keep getting boosts because he keeps destroying the ball, but not sure what his ceiling is. He didn't get a boost last week though so it's very possible he gets one this week.
-Freddy Galvis - He's been hitting all year, he probably deserves an increase at this point.
-Nick Martinez - Folks still are not buying into Nick Martinez, but it's probably fair to give him a ratings boost by now.
-Jimmy Paredes - Another guy people don't want to buy into, but his stats are outstanding.
-Jacob deGrom - Folks in the marketplace are assuming he will be upgraded this week, and it's fair if he is, but I'm not as bullish on deGrom getting an uptick.
-Drew Storen - I'm never sure when you should upgrade a reliever but Storen has been very good.
-Brad Boxberger - The same goes for Boxberger.
-Santiago Casilla - Casilla is another quality reliever as of late.
-Brian Dozier - I have felt Dozier deserves to be a Gold for a couple weeks now, so I'm going to keep beating the drum here.
-A.J. Pollock - A young player who is in the middle of a hot streak. It feels like a recipe for an upgrade.
Ratings Boost Probability: Low
-Ryan Howard - I know, I can't believe I'm saying it at all, but Howard has been shredding since an awful April.
-Zach Britton - Another one of those closers where he's pitching well, I just don't know if he will get a boost.
-Kendrys Morales - Morales has been really good, especially in May, but he's older so I'm only so bullish.
-Garrett Richards - His last start was not great, but Richards has been solid since returning this year.
-Danny Salazar - Salazar actually has some insane stats this year, his K/BB ratio is through the roof, but he keeps giving up home runs. He finally avoided them in his last start, and I think he will get an upgrade -- just not sure if this is the week.
-Corey Kluber - Kluber got a plus-one last week, but he's still had some amazing starts lately so maybe could get another increase.
-Michael Brantley - Sticking with the Indians, Brantley gets the nod here just because every time he swings it seems like he makes solid contact.
