Mike Maer reinforced concerns regarding Andres Gimenez's fantasy value due to the Blue Jays' notably reduced willingness to run on the bases. Maer underlined that Gimenez was typically drafted for his 30-steal potential and a reliable fantasy floor of speed. Given Toronto's base-stealing philosophy shift, Maer estimates Gimenez's best-case scenario for 2025 includes a .280 average with just 10 home runs and a maximum of 20 stolen bases, which is notably below initial expectations. Despite speculation of potentially juiced baseballs improving Gimenez's outlook slightly, Maer found limited upside and stated clearly he doubts Gimenez will exceed 20 stolen bases unless the Blue Jays substantially alter their strategy.

Ryan Wormeli advised fantasy managers to sell high on Andres Gimenez right away, considering his unexpected early-season three home runs as an unsustainable power surge. Wormeli explained that Gimenez's historically poor Statcast metrics (consistently low barrel rate and exit velocities) do not support this sudden power gain. He also highlighted significant concerns regarding stolen bases; despite Gimenez previously stealing 30 bases in consecutive seasons, he's transitioned to Toronto, a team that ranks consistently low in stolen base attempts. Wormeli projected Gimenez to severely underperform his draft value unless stolen base volume dramatically increases.

Data Skrive highlights Andres Gimenez as a strong DFS pick and fantasy play in the upcoming game against the Mets. Gimenez enters the matchup on a seven-game hitting streak, batting .308 over that span with three home runs, two doubles, three walks, and six RBI. Notably, Gimenez leads the Blue Jays in home runs (three total, ranking 10th in MLB) and is currently among the team's leaders in RBI (six total, ranking 23rd league-wide). His consistent recent performance and impressive power metrics present significant fantasy upside going into this matchup at Citi Field.

Bill Harrelson recommended Andres Gimenez for over 1.5 combined hits, runs, and RBI, highlighting his strong recent form hitting this line in nine of his last ten games and in every game this year. Sportsbooks strongly favor this play, with DraftKings posting odds at minus 130 and Sleeper at minus 139. Gimenez is also historically solid facing the Nationals, achieving two combined runs and RBI when facing them previously. Last season he reached this mark at 47%, currently improving with increased productivity to begin this year.
