Guy Boston Sports recommended taking Atlanta at plus money because left-hander Joey Cantillo leans on a fastball that the Braves are destroying. Over the last 30 days Atlanta sits top-10 in wRC+ against fastballs and left-handed pitching, hitting .293 with a 123 WRC+ and the second-highest walk rate versus southpaws. Cantillo’s command has wavered, and Atlanta’s deep right-handed core brings the platoon advantage. With Eric Fetty no great shakes for Cleveland either, he thinks the plus price should not last.

DFS Army flagged Joey Cantillo as a sneaky GPP play. Cantillo owns markedly better road numbers and an unexpectedly high strikeout rate this season. Although the matchup with the White Sox isn’t ideal for a southpaw, the tout believes Cantillo’s swing-and-miss stuff (double-digit K% spike year-over-year) plus depressed salary make him a viable tournament pivot on the 11-game main slate.

Kenny G leaned toward the Guardians at +110 because Joey Cantillo has quietly steadied Cleveland’s rotation. The rookie left-hander has produced two legitimately strong starts and two more serviceable ones during his last four, with the Guardians going 3-1 in that span. Cleveland’s bullpen (3.72 ERA) remains trustworthy, and the lineup is heating up behind Steven Kwan’s recent power surge and Jose Ramirez’s uptick—even if the club still ranks 26th in runs scored for the season. Kansas City counters with Noah Cameron (4-4, 2.61 ERA), but Kenny pointed out the rookie’s "major hiccups" and his most recent line of 6 IP, 7 H, 4 ER versus the Cubs. The Royals are a bottom-two offense in MLB (29th in runs), and although their bullpen is solid (3.68 ERA), Kenny doubts they provide enough run support. Given that both teams trend under at Kauffman Stadium, Kenny did consider the total but ultimately felt the plus-money side was the sharper angle, calling Cleveland "the only thing that interests me in this game."
