What cashed

Christian Yelich 1+ hits + runs + RBIs (-181 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: An easy alt rung. Yelich cleared 1+ hits + runs + RBIs in 9 of his last 10 and 4 of his last 5, and 31 of 40 this season. - What happened: He went 1 of 4 with a walk for 1 hit, 0 runs and 0 RBIs, which is 1 total and 0.5 over the 0.5 line. The hit was an infield single to short in the sixth that moved Jake Bauers to third. - Worth watching: This one cashed on the single and nothing else. The combo rung gives him three ways to get there, which matters on a night with two strikeouts.

Christian Yelich 1+ hits (-145 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: An easy alt rung. Yelich cleared 1+ hits in 9 of his last 10 and 4 of his last 5, and 28 of 40 this season. - What happened: The same sixth-inning infield single covered it, 0.5 over the 0.5 line. He also walked and stole second in the eighth. - Worth watching: He saw 22 pitches in 5 trips to the plate and reached base twice. The 1+ hits rung is worth a look while he keeps getting this many trips to the plate.

Contreras cleared 1+ hits in 8 of his last 10 and 4 of his last 5, and 32 of 40 this season. - What happened: He went 2 of 5 with an RBI, 1.5 over the 0.5 line.

Jake Bauers 1+ hits (-140 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: An easy alt rung. Bauers cleared 1+ hits in 8 of his last 10 and each of his last 5, and 28 of 40 this season. - What happened: He singled to right in the first, 0.5 over the 0.5 line, and scored on a Garrett Mitchell single. He went 1 of 3 and walked twice. - Worth watching: Two walks cut his at-bats to 3, which leaves less room on a hits prop. The price was the cheapest of the hit rungs here, and it held.

Caminero cleared 1+ hits in 8 of his last 10 and 4 of his last 5, and 32 of 40 this season. - What happened: His RBI single to left in the first made it 2-0, 0.5 over the 0.5 line, and he scored on the Hicks homer. He went 1 of 4. - Worth watching: He came through early and finished with a run and an RBI. Tampa Bay did not score after the first, so his early at-bats did the work.
