Guardians 3, White Sox 2. Cleveland survives a tense finish on Brayan Rocchio’s game-ending defense after Bo Naylor bets the seventh with a solo shot to take the lead. Chicago’s bats labored most of the night, rallying late but falling short as Gómez navigated five innings and the Sox’ mix of Cecconi and Eisert were edged by timely Guardians plays. Next up: Baltimore visits for a pivotal series that could reshape the wild-card race.

Week starts with an 11-game MLB slate highlighted by Mets at Phillies and Mariners at Cardinals. Three bold bets dominate the board: Mets team total 3.5 runs in the first seven innings over, Mariners team total 3.5 runs over seven, and Mariners to bat bottom of the ninth NO. The plays hinge on Phillies’ Aaron Nola’s recent struggles since coming off the IL and Miles Mikolas’ road struggles for St. Louis, while Seattle’s offense has momentum with key additions and Bryan Woo on the mound. The piece glides through plus-odds opportunities on DK and Caesars promos, urging disciplined attack on the early-week schedule.

In short, expect NYM and SEA to push runs early with favorable matchups, while the bullpen dynamics and park factors temper risk. The Mets target a high-scoring first stretch against Nola; Seattle looks to keep the racket going after a 18-run burst, aided by Suarez and Naylor additions and Woo’s solid home numbers. A nimble strategy and smart promo use could maximize this slate’s upside.

Seattle clings to a wild-card spot as they head to Atlanta for game 2. Victor Robles returns from suspension and starts in right; Leo Rivas has been scorching since recall (3-for-4 with a walk, a double and a homer, wRC+ 148); Josh Naylor returns after Friday’s absence; Jorge Polanco DHs, just shy of 450 plate appearances to trigger a contract option. Bryce Miller takes the mound for Seattle, aiming to build on a solid six-inning, two-run outing in Cleveland.

Tonight’s result could shift the playoff race with the Astros–Rangers clash in Arlington up the slate. Fantasy managers should monetize Robles’s speed, Rivas’s hot bat, Naylor’s power, Polanco’s lineup flexibility, and Miller’s recent trend as Seattle fights to stay afloat in a crowded race.
