José Ramírez to record a hit (-183 at DraftKings)
If the Guardians want to force a Game 7, they’ll need a big-time performance from José Ramírez. He has recorded a hit in four of his last six MLB postseason games. Ramírez tallied a single in their Game 5 loss.

He had a single off of Peralta in Game 1 of this series and will be fired up to extend this to a deciding Game 7. The third baseman recorded 111 hits during the regular season, 39 of which were extra-base hits.

Freddy Peralta under 4.5 strikeouts (-164 at DraftKings)
The Rays are sending Freddy Peralta to the mound, and it could be a short outing for the righty. He has struck out four or fewer batters in three of his last four starts. Peralta didn’t record a strikeout in a short Game 4 outing.
He’s only on two days’ rest, so the leash could be short in this massive game. If the Guardians want to do some damage, they’ll have to get Peralta out of the game early.
Yandy Diaz over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-121 at DraftKings)
Yandy Diaz has been a beast for the Rays this playoff run. He collected three hits in Game 5, including a double to lead off the game.
