Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Guardians activated 3B José Ramírez from the restricted list. Ramírez served a two-game suspension, which was reduced on appeal, over the weekend for his actions earlier this month during a benches-clearing brawl against the White Sox. The 30-year-old fantasy superstar will return to Cleveland’s lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Reds in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN
Elly De La Cruz went 2-for-5 and socked a solo home run on Sunday night as the Reds triumphed over the Pirates in extra innings. The budding 21-year-old superstar tagged Pirates’ right-hander Andre Jackson for his mammoth 442-foot (110.6 mph EV) solo shot in the third inning that tied the game at 3-3. With his two-hit attack, De La Cruz is now slashing .264/.311/.464 with 10 homers, 26 RBI and 18 stolen bases through his first 58 big league games.

Guardians vs. Reds MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Allen is 2-3 over his last five starts, posting a 3.72 ERA and 4.93 FIP across 29 innings. His walk rate is a huge problem at 3.41 and his strikeout rate is around average. On the other side, Ashcraft is 2-0 with a 2.23 ERA but it’s not sustainable given his 4.85 FIP. He too doesn’t strike out many batters and his walk rate is on the high side. Give me the over tonight in Cincinnati.
