WEATHER All clear Hunter Brown (HOU) – $10,000 DK / $10,300 FD The ace play of the slate, Brown’s been dealing all season and gets a Red Sox offense that’s been inconsistent. His splits are dominant – righties are hitting just .205 with a 1.8% HR rate against him, while lefties aren’t much better at .184. Coming off a quality start against Boston just two weeks ago, he knows this lineup well. Kevin Gausman (TOR) – $8,800 DK / $9,700 FD Gausman’s splitter has been nasty, and he gets a Cubs lineup that’s shown vulnerability to quality arms. He’s particularly tough on lefties (.184 AVG, 3.8% HR rate), and the Cubs have several key lefty bats. His recent form has been solid with multiple quality outings. Joe Ryan (MIN) – $9,600 DK / $10,000 FD Ryan’s extreme splits make him interesting – righties are hitting just .175 with a 2.6% HR rate against him. The Yankees have plenty of righty power, but they also strike out plenty, giving Ryan solid upside despite the tough matchup.   New York Mets vs Carlos Carrasco This is the slam dunk stack of the slate. Carrasco has been getting absolutely torched by righties (.642 SLG, 7.5% HR rate) while being merely bad against lefties. The Mets have elite righties in Alonso and Alvarez, plus switch-hitters like Lindor and stellar lefties like Soto. Tampa Bay Rays vs JT Ginn Ginn’s splits are cartoonish – lefties are hitting .605 SLG with a 7.9% HR rate against him. The Rays have Brandon Lowe (93.6 HR rating!), Josh Lowe, and several other lefties who can absolutely feast in this spot. Toronto Blue Jays vs Cade Horton Horton’s been solid lately but his splits favor righties over lefties. The Blue Jays have some sneaky power with Vlad Jr always dangerous, Daulton Varsho red hot with 19 FPTS in his last 3, and that 61.4 HR rating looking tasty against a young arm.     CATCHER Will Smith Francisco Alvarez Sean Murphy   FIRST BASE Pete Alonso Nick Kutz Vlad Guerrero Jr   SECOND BASE Jose Altuve Jazz Chisholm Jr Brandon Lowe   THIRD BASE Junior Caminero Yoan Moncada Alex Bregman   SHORTSTOP Francisco Lindor Zach Neto Bo Bichette   OUTFIELD – Mt.
