It's Game 6 of the American League Division Series as the Tampa Bay Rays try to finish off the Cleveland Guardians and head to the World Series. We're unsure who's taking the ball for Guardians while the Rays are going with Freddy Peralta. We'll see if the stars such as Junior Caminero, Jose Ramirez, Yandy Diaz, and Jonathan Aranda show up when the lights are the brightest.

Guardians vs Rays: Pitching Matchup
Freddy Peralta, Tampa Bay Rays
It's been an elite postseason stretch for Freddy Peralta up to this point and he's simply been elite since arriving in Tampa as general. The Guardians are a bottom-10 offense against righties this year and Peralta is pitching so well. I'm absolutely interested in using Peralta today.

Guardians vs Rays Preview: Key Players to Watch
Junior Caminero, 3B (Rays)
It's possible the Guardians go with Tanner Bibee or Joey Cantillo but I love the Rays to finish off the job tonight. Caminero had 41 bombs on the year and can leave any yard.
DraftKings CPT: $15,000 | DraftKings UTIL: $10,000 | FanDuel MVP: $19,500 | FanDuel UTIL: $13,000
Yandy Diaz, 1B (Rays)
Yandy Diaz is starting to cook as he's notched an extra-base hit in three straight and four of five and has five extra-base hits over his last five games overall. He hits righties and lefties equally so no matter who the Guardians throw at him he's in a good spot.
DraftKings CPT: $13,500 | DraftKings UTIL: $9,000 | FanDuel MVP: $16,800 | FanDuel UTIL: $11,200
Jonathan Aranda, 1B (Rays)
Like Yandy Diaz, Jonathan Aranda is starting to heat up posting two straight multi-hit efforts and has driven in three runs over that span. Aranda has hit righties better than lefties, so we'll see what the Guardians do in an elimination game. Aranda's gonna face a bunch of pitchers no matter who starts.
DraftKings CPT: $12,000 | DraftKings UTIL: $8,000 | FanDuel MVP: $14,100 | FanDuel UTIL: $9,400
Jose Ramirez, 3B (Guardians)
The Guardians season is on the line and they're going to need Jose Ramirez to come up big. On the year, lefties have a .185 ISO and .330 wOBA against left-handed hitters. Ramirez has been great against righties this postseason.
DraftKings CPT: $14,400 | DraftKings UTIL: $9,600 | FanDuel MVP: $18,600 | FanDuel UTIL: $12,400
Chase DeLauter, OF (Guardians)
Just like Jose Ramirez, Chase DeLauter is needed to keep the Guardians' season alive. DeLauter hits righties extremely well. DeLauter has had a good postseason and this is a good matchup against an SP allowing a .185 ISO and .330 wOBA.
DraftKings CPT: $12,900 | DraftKings UTIL: $8,600 | FanDuel MVP: $15,600 | FanDuel UTIL: $10,400
Victor Mesa, OF (Rays)
He just has a really high ceiling despite not having a great postseason up to this point. Mesa has great numbers against both splits so there's no disadvantage no matter who starts.
DraftKings CPT: $10,200 | DraftKings UTIL: $6,800 | FanDuel MVP: $12,600 | FanDuel UTIL: $8,400
Liam Hicks, C (Rays)
It matters to Liam Hicks almost as much as anyone in the Rays lineup because he hits righties so well and lefties so poorly. He's a .900 OPS guy against righties and a .500 OPS player against southpaws.
DraftKings CPT: $11,400 | DraftKings UTIL: $7,600 | FanDuel MVP: $10,200 | FanDuel UTIL: $6,800
Chandler Simpson, OF (Rays)
The Rays moved Simpson into the three-hole two games ago and it's gone swimmingly. His upside is tremendous because he steals a ton of bases. No power, lots of speed.
DraftKings CPT: $9,900 | DraftKings UTIL: $6,600 | FanDuel MVP: $10,800 | FanDuel UTIL: $7,200
