Milwaukee hosts Texas in a high-stakes Tuesday tilt as the Brewers’ bullpen-day plan clashes with the Rangers’ Wild Card chase. Milwaukee’s late-season surge (58-28 since June) and Texas’ 1.5-game gap add pressure on every at-bat. Cubs at Braves adds rookie Cade Horton to a Strider showdown, while Yankees at Tigers features Casey Mize vs. Will Warren in a hitter-friendly matchup. Top props lean Yordan Alvarez and Spencer Strider, plus a value of Alvarez hitting a homer at +425 and Strider underscoring an interesting Ks play.

Fantasy bettors are urged to lean Brewers and Cubs in DFS, with Alvarez’s power upside a standout prop and Horton facing a tough opponent in Strider. The slate also weaves NFL Week 2 into the day, capped by Ravens’ big-line bet, but Tuesday’s MLB bets and player props offer the clearest edge for daily fantasy rosters and prop hedges tonight.

Helman delivered a go-ahead grand slam off Quintana, a bases-loaded blast that sparked Texas’s 5-0 win as they weathered injuries and leaned on late-blooming depth. Latz followed with 5 2/3 scoreless frames, backing a stout Rangers bullpen as Texas climbed back toward contention.

Texas highlighted its opportunistic depth, with Heim adding a run-scoring double later and Helman flashing both power and defense. The win keeps the Rangers hot, while the Brewers’ NL-best pitching staff was shut out despite a strong start.

Week 24 of the 2025 fantasy baseball calendar centers on two-start pitchers with playoff implications. Yu Darvish anchors the streamer tier, drawing favorable home matchups against CIN and COL in Petco Park. Framber Valdez gets two starts against TOR and ATL, while Shota Imanaga tackles ATL and TB, offering a premium strikeout floor with solid ratios. Nick Lodolo and Jose Quintana land strong rosters with CIN and MIL in two-start weeks, and Adrian Houser alongside Eury Pérez bring enticing upside for longer weeks. Braxton Ashcraft, perched as a sleeper, carries multi-inning potential against two middling offenses, rounding out a slate that blends risk, reward, and strategic waiver moves.

With rosters under 50% in several cases, the waiver wire remains fertile for Week 24. The mix of high-floor arms and upside rockets provides a blueprint for playoff push lineups: leverage pitcher-friendly venues, weigh opponent lineups, and balance safe starts with upside streams. This week’s batch emphasizes two-start viability that can swing ratio stats and keep your ratios competitive during the final stretch.

Milwaukee Brewers scratched Christian Yelich with a sore back as they edged Philadelphia 6-3 in the finale, signaling a cautious but hopeful return for the star ahead of the Pirates series. The update echoes last year’s back surgery, yet Milwaukee sits atop the NL Central with the league’s best record, keeping fantasy managers on their toes as Yelich’s health drives lineup decisions.

Yelich’s season totals (27 HR, 92 RBI in 132 games) underscore his power and value when healthy. The Phillies’ rally in the opener contrasted with Milwaukee’s bullpen strength, while Taijuan Walker and Aaron Nola were touched early before Quintana steadied Philadelphia. The health question surrounding Yelich remains the fulcrum for Brewers’ fantasy projections down the stretch.
