"Luis Garcia has the platoon advantage against Astros right-handed pitcher Mike Burrows," Fetner said. "He has been on a tear lately, hitting six home runs over his last 10 home games. He has been swinging a hot bat, hitting .417 over his last 10 games. Burrows has given up 13 of his 19 home runs this season to left-handed batters.

"Mookie Betts has the platoon advantage against Rockes left-handed pitcher Kyle Freeland," Fetner said. "He has one HR over his last 10 home games. He has been swinging a hot bat, hitting .341 over his last 10 games. Freeland has given up 15 of his 16 home runs this season to right-handed batters. Right-handed batters are hitting .327 with a .973 OPS against Freeland this season. Betts is 13-for-45 against Freeland in his career, with three of those hits being home runs."

Ben Rice, Yankees (+361, DraftKings)
"Ben Rice has the platoon advantage against Rays right-handed pitcher Griffin Jax and has been absolutely dominant against right-handed pitchers this season, boasting a .281 average with a 1.011 OPS in 235 plate appearances, with 18 of his 24 home runs coming off right-handed pitching," Fetner said. "For context, he's only posting a .761 OPS against left-handed pitching, so this is clearly the better matchup for him. Jax allows a .801 OPS to left-handed hitters in 148 plate appearances. Jax has surrendered seven home runs over his last six starts, including three multi-homer outings. Jax had been struggling recently â a 5.79 ERA across his previous three starts â but had a better outing in his most recent start. We still think there's value here as the model expects some regression."
