Oakland A’s DFS SPIN
Nick Allen went 0-for-3 and struck out twice as the Athletics’ No. 9 hitter Thursday against the Astros. If only Allen would demonstrate steady progress, he probably would go into 2023 as Oakland’s shortstop. However, he’s hitting .171/.171/.220 this month, and he’s looked about as bad offensively as anyone in the majors since arriving in June. If the A’s have any interest in competing next year, then it seems a shortstop upgrade will be required.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Aledmys Díaz hit a two-run homer and walked against the A’s in Thursday’s win. It seems Díaz’s four-week IL stint didn’t cool him off much, as he’s 3-for-7 in two games since returning. It’s going to be hard to deny him a spot in the Astros’ starting lineup in the postseason if he continues to finish strong.
