Triston McKenzie, Cleveland Guardians
O5.5 Strikeouts (+125, DraftKings Sportsbook)
There’s always some scary risk on a bet like this. I get it. Triston McKenzie is returning from injury and that’s always a frightening proposition. But let’s be honest — he missed on start and the young righty, sporting heavier curveball usage, has a 48/8 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his last 49 innings. And the Royals stink recently — they rank in the bottom six in the league in wOBA in the last month.
José Ramírez, Cleveland Guardians
To Homer (+390, DraftKings Sportsbook)
José Ramírez and the Guardians have remained as hot as the face of the sun recently — they have been surprisingly adept at the plate, and they may add to some gaudy totals facing Mike Minor. The southpaw has really struggled with right-handed batters this season, allowing 1.66 HR/9 on the year. Expect Ramirez to pop him deep.
