  • Kodai Senga (R, LAA): 13.2 FPTS, 90.6% roster percentage, 61% win probability.

Pitchers to Stream on Monday

  • Shane Baz (R, CWS): Baz has been in excellent form, with four quality starts before the All-Star break. He faces the White Sox, who have the lowest wOBA against right-handers.
  • Eury Perez (R, SD): Perez has been dominant, with 18 innings pitched and 21 strikeouts in his last three starts. He faces the Padres, who have a low home run rate against righties.

Pitchers to Avoid on Monday

  • Shohei Ohtani (R, MIN): Ohtani is expected to pitch only three innings as an opener, making him a risky fantasy option for Monday.

Betting Tips

  • Freddie Freeman (OVER 0.5 HR, +700): Dodger Stadium's shallow center field fences make this a favorable bet.

Top Pitcher Prop Bets

  • Tomoyuki Sugano (OVER 3.5 K, +120): Favorable weather conditions for pitching make this a strong bet.
  • Eury Perez (UNDER 4.5 K, +105): The Padres' low strikeout rate makes this a good under bet.
