- Luis Castillo of the Mariners is another strong contender with a 3.59 ERA, 142 KOs, and 19 HRs allowed in 21 games.

The Showdowns: Today's DFS Matchups to Watch
Let's take a look at the matchups that have us on the edge of our seats today:
🔥 Orioles (+104) vs Phillies (-124) O/U 9.5
The Orioles are on a roll with a 62-38 record, facing the 53-47 Phillies. Orioles' pitcher Dean Kremer (4.59 ERA) will face off against Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez (2.98 ERA). This game could go either way, but we're leaning towards the Orioles.
❄️ Marlins (+174) vs Rays (-214) O/U 7.5
The Marlins (54-47) are up against the Rays (61-42). The Marlins are the underdogs in this matchup, but with the Rays' pitcher yet to be announced, this could be an interesting game.
🔥 Angels (+105) vs Tigers (-125) O/U 8.5
The Angels (51-49) are facing the Tigers (46-54). The Angels are ranked #2 for Home Runs (1.0) per game, but Comerica Park is one of the toughest ballparks for HR's. This could be a low-scoring game, making the under a good bet.
The Showstopper: Our Top Pick of the Day
Our favorite pick of the day? We're liking the Angels at +105. With their strong home run record and the Tigers' lack of a solid pitcher, we think the Angels have a good shot at pulling off a win.
🏁 Home Run Prop Favorites
🥇Max Muncy LAD +300
Max Muncy of the Dodgers is my gold pick with a +300 HR moneyline. He's facing Jose Berrios who has an ERA of 3.40 and gives up a homer 2.7% of the time. Muncy has a solid HR rate of 8.65% with 25 HRs in 347 at-bats and has hit 4 HRs in the last two weeks. The wind at Dodger Stadium is blowing slightly out of the park, which could help Muncy's chances.🥈Kyle Schwarber PHI +285
Kyle Schwarber of the Phillies is my silver pick with a +285 HR moneyline. Schwarber is up against Dean Kremer who has a high ERA of 4.59 and gives up a homer 4.5% of the time. Schwarber has a HR rate of 7.10% with 26 HRs in 436 at-bats and has hit 4 HRs in the last two weeks. The wind at Citizens Bank Park is blowing slightly in from center field, but Schwarber's recent performance and Kremer's high ERA make him a strong pick.🥉Mike Ford SEA +500
Mike Ford of the Mariners is my bronze pick with a +500 HR moneyline. Ford is facing Pablo Lopez who has an ERA of 4.22 and gives up a homer 3.0% of the time. Ford has an impressive HR rate of 10.0% with 11 HRs in just 121 at-bats and has hit 3 HRs in the last two weeks. The wind at Target Field is blowing slightly out of the park, which could give Ford an edge.Tuesday MLB Showdown: The Battle of the Bullpen, Clutch Hitters Take Center Stage
