As we approach mid-June, several players are catching the attention of fantasy baseball managers. Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds is making headlines with a home run streak that has seen him hit four consecutive homers, showcasing his impressive power. With 15 home runs and 20 steals this season, he’s a must-start in daily leagues. Meanwhile, Josh Smith from the Texas Rangers is on a seven-game hitting streak, including multiple-hit games, making him a valuable asset in fantasy rosters.

Giancarlo Stanton is expected to return from the injured list, adding a powerful option to the New York Yankees lineup, while Brady House, the Washington Nationals' top prospect, is set to make his MLB debut. The week includes critical matchups for pitchers like Jameson Taillon, who looks to extend his streak of quality starts as well as Logan Gilbert, returning from injury. This week is crucial for fantasy owners looking to capitalize on hot bats and emerging pitching talent.

On this DFS Sunday, numerous strong options arise in MLB, particularly with high-performing pitchers on the mound. Atlanta Braves' pitcher Zack Wheeler, priced at $11K DK and $10.8K FD, boasts an impressive 0.35 ERA since May 11. Expect him to dominate against the Blue Jays. Similarly, Grant Holmes from the Braves could shine against the Colorado Rockies, while Yusei Kikuchi of the Angels may also excel against a struggling Orioles lineup.

For hitters, the Braves and Angels are set to deliver strong performances. Matt Olson and Marcell Ozuna of Atlanta are in formidable form, facing a debuting pitcher in Austin Gomber. Zach Neto, a breakout star for the Angels, is also expected to shine against the Orioles. Monitor injury news closely as lineups can change quickly.

In the fantasy baseball world, finding effective pitchers on the waiver wire can be a game-changer. This week, focus on Matthew Liberatore, who despite some recent struggles, has shown improved control and an advantageous matchup against the White Sox. Grant Holmes is another intriguing option; his slider has been effective, especially against the Marlins. Jose Soriano is worth a look after a stellar outing with 12 strikeouts, while Clarke Schmidt and Zack Littell are both set to face strikeout-prone lineups. Young pitchers like Ben Brown and Slade Cecconi are also on the radar with their two-start weeks. Finally, Sandy Alcantara’s recent control over his pitching might make him more reliable even against tough opponents, and Will Warren's recent scoreless outing suggests potential upside.

The Atlanta Braves aim to build on their recent momentum as they face the Milwaukee Brewers tonight at American Family Field. The Braves snapped a seven-game losing streak with a decisive 7-1 victory over the Brewers, showcasing their power with three home runs in the process. This win comes as they look to improve their record (28-37) against a Brewers team that currently stands at 35-32.

Grant Holmes, the Braves' starting pitcher, enters the game with a 3-4 record and a 3.99 ERA, while Quinn Priester for the Brewers holds a 3-2 record with a 3.88 ERA. The matchup is significant, as both teams seek to capitalize on the other's recent struggles. The Braves’ offense looks to continue their recent success, especially with their last five games against the Brewers trending towards high-scoring outcomes. With the odds favoring the Braves slightly at -121, this matchup promises to be an exciting one for bettors and fans alike.
