Houston Astros designated hitter Evan Gattis has struggled hitting at Minute Maid Park this season, slashing only .195/.249/.395 in 62 home games. Gattis hit 19 home runs and drove in 63 runs during the first half of the season but posted a .195/.252/.364 line since the All-Star break. Gattis' playing time has also been severely cut into by the emergence of Tyler White. Friday is not the best matchup for Gattis against Indians right-hander Corey Kluber. Gattis is hitting only .218 against right-handed pitching this season and is not a viable fantasy option in DFS for Friday.

Gattis was hot at the plate, but cooled off on Monday going 0-for-3 in that one. He'll sit this game out, but he's still a valuable fantasy asset for leagues that are still going. Jose Altuve will serve as the DH and bat second versus righty Sam Gaviglio. Altuve is a great fantasy option for this game.

He should be a reliable option against Estrada on Monday.
