HOT

Shelley Duncan (CLE) –
The Indians DH/1B/OF has been scorching of late in going 9-for-25 with 8 R and 10 RBI over the past 7 games. 5 of his 9 HR on the season have come in the past week (including a pair of 2-run shots off AL Cy Young favorite Justin Verlander). Now that is a hot streak.

Gomes: Unless Gomes is flipped, expect him to platoon with Laynce Nix in left for the Nationals. The right-handed Gomes has a .333/.439/.537 slash line with three HR’s versus left-handed pitching…
