FACTS/FLUKES: Betts, Chavez, E. Escobar, Weaver, Shaw

Betts' game looking strong ... Owners who drafted Mookie Betts (OF, BOS) as a top-100 pick after just 189 MLB at bats were taking somewhat of a risk entering 2015. That risk has turned into a major reward as Betts, who is hitting .281 with 13 HR and 17 SB, has been one of the more productive AL outfielders this season. At 22, has Betts already arrived as a star?
