Kyle Hendricks, 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (LOWER)
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks has a Tuesday matchup against the San Francisco Giants. In the past month, the Giants have been arguably the worst team in baseball against right-handed pitching, slashing .212/.293/.301 with an OPS of .595. Hendricks has made five starts in the past month and given up more than two earned runs just once. I expect Hendricks to continue his run of solid starts against the Giants.
Jose Ramirez, 7.5 Fantasy Points (LOWER)
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez faces Minnesota Twins starter Sonny Gray on Tuesday. In his career against Gray, Ramirez has gone 8-for-41 (.195) with five strikeouts and three RBI. Gray is also having one of the best seasons of his career this year, carrying a 2.92 ERA with 156 strikeouts in 157 innings. Ramirez may have a more challenging time against Gray than he does against most pitchers.
Bryan Reynolds, 7.0 Fantasy Points (LOWER)
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds has a Tuesday afternoon appointment with Milwaukee Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff. In his career against Woodruff, Reynolds has gone 2-for-16 (.125) with 10 strikeouts and one RBI. Woodruff is one of those pitchers that Reynolds seems to have a hard time finding success against, and those struggles will likely continue on Tuesday.
Underdog Fantasy Pick'em (LOWER)
Zach Eflin, 2.0 Earned Runs Allowed (HIGHER)
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Zach Eflin faces the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. In the past month, the Red Sox have the seventh-best OPS, seventh-best wOBA, and eighth-best wRC+ against right-handed pitching. The Red Sox also have the second-lowest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching in that span. Eflin has not allowed more than two earned runs in his last three starts, but that may change when he faces Rafael Devers and Adam Duvall, who have found success against him before.
Pete Alonso, 8.0 Fantasy Points (HIGHER)
New York York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has established himself as one of the best hitters in baseball. Alonso faces Washington Nationals starter Patrick Corbin on Tuesday. In his career against Corbin, Alonso has gone 14-for-43 (.326) with five home runs and eight RBI. Alonso has crushed Corbin in the past and likely will continue to do so on Tuesday. Alonso is also coming off a two-home run game, so he should be locked in for this matchup.
Eloy Jimenez, 7.0 Fantasy Points (HIGHER)
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez faces Kansas City Royals starter Brady Singer on Tuesday. In his career against Singer, Jimenez has gone 9-for-16 (.563) with a walk, an RBI, and two strikeouts. Jimenez has seen Singer very well and has proven to be an excellent hitter when healthy. I expect Jimenez to collect multiple hits in this contest and eclipse seven fantasy points.
