Alec Burleson, Cardinals (+520, FanDuel)
“Alec Burleson has the platoon advantage against right-handed Michael King and has been absolutely dominant against right-handed pitchers this season, boasting a .332 average with a 1.015 OPS in 212 plate appearances, with 12 of his 13 home runs coming off right-handed pitching this season,” Fetner said. “For context, he’s only posting a .469 OPS against left-handed pitching, so this is clearly the better matchup for him.

King has a 4.58 ERA over his last three starts on the road.” Back Burleson to go yard on Tuesday by clicking here to bet at FanDuel, where new users get $350 in bonus bets with a $5 bet over their first seven days:
Willson Contreras, Red Sox (+475, Hard Rock Bet)
“Willson Contreras has four home runs over his last five games at home,” Fetner noted. “Contreras faces a same-side right-handed pitcher — no platoon edge, but Contreras has been dominant against right-handed pitching this season, hitting .303 with a .934 OPS in 206 plate appearances, with 11 of his 16 home runs coming off right-handed pitching this season. He’s hitting 1.059 OPS at home this season. Dylan Cease had been pitching well, but got hit hard in his most recent start, giving up 5 earned runs. Small sample, but Contreras is 4-for-14 against Cease in his career, with one of those hits being a home run.” Back Contreras to go yard on Tuesday by clicking here to bet at Hard Rock Bet, where new users get $150 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins:
Nathaniel Lowe, Reds (+432, DraftKings)
“Nathaniel Lowe has the platoon advantage against right-handed Kodai Senga, hitting .287 with a .934 OPS against right-handed pitching this season in 157 plate appearances, and all nine of his home runs this season have come against right-handed pitching,” Fetner said. “For context, he’s only posting a .059 OPS against left-handed pitching, so this is clearly the better matchup for him. He’s hitting .969 OPS at home this season. Senga allows a .799 OPS to left-handed hitters in 313 plate appearances. Senga has surrendered five home runs over his last three starts, with two multi-home run outings in that span in 8.1 innings pitched.
