Gerrit Cole pitched a solid game but struggled to strike out the Guardians, giving us a 2-1 day. Every team is in action tonight, with games beginning at 6:40 p.m. EST.

Trevor Rogers is 0-2 this season, with both losses coming against the New York Mets. He failed to pitch 5.0 innings in either of his starts and has nine total strikeouts. He has not struck out more than six batters in a single game.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are right in the middle of the league regarding runs scored, but they are one of the best contact teams in baseball. They have played 13 games, tied for the most of any team in the league, but they have only 88 strikeouts this season, the third-least in the MLB. Rogers isn't an overpowering strikeout-throwing pitcher, and he will struggle against this lineup.
Steven Kwan is batting just .283 this season, but he does have an on-base percentage of .375. Twelve of his 15 hits have been singles, so we recommend you avoid his total bases over. If he ends tonight with one single, you would lose that prop.
But he does walk a lot. He has already been gifted nine bases this season, stolen three bases and scored seven runs. These are all things he is rewarded for in the hitter fantasy score. Even though Washington starter Trevor Williams has only walked one batter all season, he does give up hits. We like Kwan to clear this number by what could be a significant margin.
We haven't seen Jonah Heim get an at-bat since his walk-off home run against the Kansas City Royals on April 11. Yet, we have to assume he will start tonight against the Houston Astros and Luis Garcia.
In his career, Heim is 2-5 against Garcia, with both of his hits being singles. It's not a huge sample size, but it shows success, which is what we're looking for when just needing one hit for a player. In his last four games, Heim is 6-16, recording at least one hit in each contest.
