Cleveland rides a season-high five-game win streak into Detroit, chasing a postseason push as Gavin Williams faces Detroit ace Jack Flaherty. Cleveland sits 5.5 games back in the AL Central and 2.5 behind the final wild-card slot, with 12 regular-season games left. Detroit is favored at home (-146) in a critical midweek matchup that could redefine fantasy planning for pitchers Williams and Flaherty, while the rest of the slate features implied offense and run-line intrigue.

Cal Raleigh sparks late history as he climbs toward 60 homers, already tying Griffey for Seattle’s single-season mark after a 56th homer. Aaron Judge sits on 48, eyeing a fourth 50-homer season and a potential 60-homer chase. Shohei Ohtani remains the near-unavoidable NL MVP favorite with a 50/50 season, while four players could join 50-HR club this year. Mets’ Soto and Alonso spark a 40/40 possibility, and no-hitters dodge the headlines again. Trout, Stanton, Scherzer and Schwarber shape late-season fantasy tides.

Cal Raleigh keeps rewriting history, slugging Nos. 55 and 56 to break Mickey Mantle’s switch-hitter single-season mark and tie Ken Griffey Jr. for Seattle’s franchise HR record. With 11 games left, he sits six HRs behind Aaron Judge’s 62 in 2022, needing seven to pass. Pace and late-season pitching decisions will determine whether Raleigh reaches the AL’s 60-HR club. The looming Houston series and a potential Wild Card clash with the Yankees add playoff texture to a season that fantasy managers must monitor closely.

Wednesday's two MLB DFS slates fixate on pitchers, where price, matchup and ballpark drive decisions. Gausman tops the heap at $9,000 with solid recent form and a favorable park, while Luzardo and Ragans offer high-upside if you stomach risk. Gil and Weathers present cheaper pivots, though Gil's control and deGrom's homer issues temper expectations. Offense leans Royals value with Witt and Pasquantino, plus Adolis Garcia and a Padres-Mets stack featuring Tatis, Machado and Merrill. Marlins at Rockies adds Coors intrigue.
