Jose Ramirez, 3B, Cleveland Indians

Price: $4,600

Jose Ramirez has been one of the most productive players in the Majors this season. He ranks top-five among qualifying hitters in both wOBA (.417) and ISO (.315), and he sits third in home runs (37), eighth in runs scored (89) and fourth in RBI (94), while his 28 stolen bases are tied for fifth. You can't ask for much better numbers from a fantasy standpoint.

He also becomes especially deadly when he's up against a right-handed pitcher, with his wOBA jumping to .437, and his ISO to .354 on a 39.1% hard-hit and 46.1% fly-ball rate.

Tonight's matchup is against an especially vulnerable righty in Minnesota's Kohl Stewart. Stewart has started three Major League games this season, struggling to the tune of a 5.16 SIERA. It's a small sample, but he has been crushed for a 38.1% hard-hit rate in those games, and a matchup with the Cleveland offense doesn't leave him likely to bounce back.
