Pitcher

Hisashi Iwakuma, Mariners (@ Red Sox) -- Iwakuma has been excellent the last two months, allowing more than two runs just once since the beginning of July. In his last five starts, he has surrendered a total of four runs while striking out 32 batters in 36 1/3 innings. He has yet to start against the Red Sox this year, but they're batting just .243/.316/.367 on the season. This is a lineup Iwakuma should be able to handle.

Infielder

Adrian Beltre, Rangers (vs. Royals, Jason Vargas) --Beltre has been swinging a hot bat for about a week now. In his last six games, he is 11-for-23 with two doubles, three RBI, four runs and two walks. He has always struggled with Vargas in his career, going 4-for-30 with three strikeouts, but daily fantasy gamers should be willing to look the other way given how Beltre has performed at the plate recently.

Outfielder

Carlos Gomez, Brewers (vs. Pirates, Vance Worley) -- Gomez took an 0-for-4 on Saturday, but he is still among the hottest hitters in baseball over the last five days or so. He’s 6-for-18 with three homers, two doubles and four RBI in Milwaukee’s last five games. He’s 1-for-4 with a double against Worley in his career, and is hitting .279/.369/.511 at home this year.
