Top 3 Player Props – Cleveland Guardians
– José Ramírez Under 1.5 total bases at -115 / 62% — Out on IL; lineup without him produces fewer extra-base opportunities against Twins pitching.

– Josh Naylor Over 0.5 RBI at +105 / 58% — Power bat sees elevated RBI chances in middle order even in limited recent samples.
