Kevin Gausman OVER 6.5 Pitcher Strikeouts

Gausman has been too good this year for this number to be as low as it is. Over the last 15 days, the Red Sox have struck out the fourth most amount of times. Gausman ranks third in strikeout percentage behind only Spencer Strider and Shohei Ohtani. 

Jose Altuve OVER 8.0 Hitter Fantasy Score

Altuve had a very strong finish to the last month and has had some success against Andrew Heaney. He has a .393 batting average in 28 ABs against the left-hander. Heaney struggled in his last start and hasn’t been particularly effective in June.

Underdog Fantasy

Mookie Betts OVER 1.5 Total Bases

Mookie has been on fire lately, hitting over 1.5 total bases in the last four games. The Dodgers continue their series in Kansas City going against Brady Singer, who has a 5.15 ERA in Kauffman Stadium.

Luis Robert Jr. UNDER 10.5 Fantasy Points

Robert had a ridiculous June and would have gotten more attention if not for Shohei Ohtani’s month. That being said, this is a high number and Paul Blackburn has been okay for the As. The 2022 all-star is a bay area local and has only given up four earned runs in three home starts.

Tournament Plays

Francisco Lindor OVER 0.5 RBIs

This should be a high scoring affair with the starting pitcher matchup. Lindor has been inconsistent this year, but in the last two weeks has been a little bit better. In the last 13 games, Lindor has 11 RBIs on 14 hits.

Starling Marte UNDER 1.5 Total Bases

Marte has had a brutal week, coming up short with the bases loaded twice against the Brewers in a game they lost by one run. In the following game, he was brought on as a pinch runner in the 9th inning only to get caught stealing. Marte hasn’t gotten over 1.5 bases in his last six games played.
