MLB Week 15: Fantasy Lineup Insights and Betting Picks

Fantasy analysts highlighted several MLB injury updates ahead of the second half of the season. The Oakland Athletics placed Zack Gelof on the 10‑day injured list after a hand injury, with Henry Bolte stepping in as leadoff hitter. The Baltimore Orioles continued to rely on catcher Samuel Basallo while Adley Rutschman remained on the 7‑day IL. The Boston Red Sox adjusted their roster after placing Marcelo Mayer on the IL with a forearm injury, promoting shortstop Tsung‑Che Cheng. The Chicago White Sox activated catcher Kyle Teel from the 60‑day IL.

Betting experts offered game‑by‑game picks for the June 29 slate. The White Sox were favored at +114 over the Orioles, with analysts noting White Sox pitcher Sean Burke's recent performance and the Orioles' starter Shane Baz's struggles against left‑handed batters. A separate pick recommended a No‑Run First Inning for the Rangers‑Guardians matchup, citing the Rangers' left‑handed opener Tyler Alexander and the Guardians' weak split‑handed numbers.
