This Weeks Record: 1-1
Last Weeks Record: 8-11
Past Six Weeks Record: 56-43-5
Corbin Burnes MORE than 5 Strikeouts
Burnes is one of the front runners for AL Cy Young this season. He is a true ace and is in a great matchup against a Blue Jays lineup that is very inconsistent. They also strike out a lot, which bodes well for this prop. Burnes has struck out at least five batters in 12 straight starts, so the numbers are definitely in our favor tonight. He consistently goes six-plus innings in every start as well, so as long as he can continue to give that length, this should be an easy win for us.
Robbie Ray MORE than 6.5 Strikeouts
Ray was sensational in his return to the mound last week. After not pitching all season, he took the mound on the road against the Dodgers and allowed just one ER over five innings while striking out eight. He has always been a big strikeout pitcher, and tonight, he gets a much better matchup against the Oakland Athletics, who strike out a ton. The game is also being played in a very pitcher-friendly park in San Francisco.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. MORE than 5.5 Fantasy Points
Gurriel is riding a seven-game hitting streak and has scored at least one run in six straight games. He is in a great matchup tonight against LHP Patrick Corbin of the Nationals. Corbin is 2-10 this season with a 5.26 ERA and 1.45 WHIP. Gurriel is batting .328 with a .355 OBP this season against left-handed pitching compared to .244 and .275 OBP vs. righties.
Salvador Peres MORE than 5.5 Fantasy Points
Sal bats cleanup for the Royals and is having another very strong season. He has been hot in the month of July, with at least one hit in 16 of his past 19 games, and he is in a good matchup tonight against Jonathan Cannon and the White Sox. Cannon has struggled lately, and the White Sox rank 29th in MLB in ERA, WHIP, and HR allowed.
