Cleveland’s Franmil Reyes ($3,400) has been crushing the ball over the last month, batting .275 with nine home runs. Could you imagine what his power numbers would look like in a park like Yankee Stadium? Well, you don’t have to wonder much longer, as he’s there tonight! Reyes will face Corey Kluber, who has been awful since returning from the injured list, posting an 8.49 ERA and allowing a home run in all three starts. Using Reyes will also provide you with leverage over anybody using Kluber as their pitcher in larger field tournaments, particularly if paired with Jose Ramirez ($4,000). Either way – as a standalone or a stack, Franmil smash.

Zack Wheeler, SP: $10,700 – Wheeler’s dominant 28.9% K-rate and 2.67 FIP give him the highest projection at starting pitcher tonight. He’s the most expensive, of course, but worth paying up for.
Logan Webb, SP: $9,500 – Over the last month Webb has 34 strikeouts in 33 innings with only five walks and a 2.45 ERA. He’s at home in an extreme pitcher’s park tonight, where he’s got just a 1.66 ERA on the year.
Yuli Gurriel, 1B: $3,000 – Gurriel is a cheap way to get exposure to a valuable Astros stack, as he will see RBI opportunities batting cleanup. Gurriel is torching lefties with a 154 wRC+ and faces Madison Bumgarner, who has a 5.81 ERA over his last five starts.
Enrique Hernandez, 2B: $3,400 – Hernandez will bat leadoff for the Red Sox, which puts him in a spot to score lots of runs against the Orioles pitching staff. Starter Keegan Akin has a brutal 6.83 ERA and Hernandez has an .852 OPS against lefties.
Manny Machado, 3B: $3,700– The Padres are another team to consider stacking against Miles Mikolas, owner of a 5.47 ERA. Machado is batting .284 in the second half of the season.
J.P. Crawford, SS: $2,700 – Crawford is hitting .300 over the last two weeks and is a cheap cash game option batting leadoff for the Mariners. His lineup spot gives him a high floor against Brady Singer, who has a 4.85 ERA.
Christian Yelich, OF: $3,500 – Despite a disappointing year, Yelich is still in a spot to score you points, batting third for the Brewers. Opposing starter Zach Davies has a 5.42 FIP.
Eloy Jimenez, OF: $3,400 – Rangers lefty Taylor Hearn has a 1.69 HR/9 this year, so Eloy is in a great spot to go deep.
I’m Only Happy When It Rains
There should not be any weather to worry about tonight.
Doing Lines In Vegas
The Phillies are a strong pick at -130 with ace Zack Wheeler pitching.
