5 HOT DUDES FOR DINGER TUESDAY

Had so much success over the weekend that we had to bring the Hot Dude articles back to the website.

Miguel Vargas — Chicago White Sox

It was never Colson yesterday. Unfortunately, it was always Miguel Vargas.

Vargas is making a strong push to become an All-Star and has filled in nicely during Murakami’s absence. Miguel hit two homers yesterday and now has 7 hits, 3 home runs, and 7 RBIs in his last 6 games.

Plays:

• O1.5 HRR
• HR +450

Ketel Marte — Arizona Diamondbacks

Ketel is back after a three-game skid, homering against the Dodgers yesterday. Ketel was one of the hottest dudes in April—if not the hottest—racking up 15 hits, 3 homers, and 13 RBIs in his last 10 outings.

Plays:

• O1.5 HRR
• HR +350

JJ Bleday — Cincinnati Reds

JJ was the only hot dude to come through for us yesterday, so you’d need your head scanned if you thought we weren’t going right back to him today.

He has 11 hits, 4 homers, and 7 RBIs in his last 7 games and shows no signs of slowing down. Bleday has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball this season.

Plays:

• O1.5 HRR
• HR +350

Jarren Duran — Boston Red Sox

Duran was a hot dude all May and carries a 7-game hitting streak into June. He’s racked up 16 hits, 5 home runs, and 13 RBIs in his last 10 games, and now gets a three-game series against the Orioles’ below-average pitching staff (sorry, Gootz).

Plays:

• O1.5 HRR
• HR +500

Ronald Acuña Jr. — Atlanta Braves

Acuña has been bombs away lately, blasting 5 home runs and driving in 9 runs over his last 4 games while drawing 7 walks.

Ronald Acuña is absolutely a hot dude we want to continue backing as often as possible.

Plays:

• O1.5 HRR
• HR +400
