Los Angeles Angels DFS SPIN
Patrick Sandoval was lifted after allowing two runs in five innings Tuesday against the Braves. Sandoval was throwing about as hard as he has all year in this one, averaging 94.2 mph with his fastball, but while he allowed just three hits, he walked four and gave up a homer. It’s still a fairly encouraging outing for those rostering him, even if it didn’t mean much tonight.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Michael Harris II hit a pair of solo homers Tuesday in the win over the Angels. They were solo shots because Harris is still batting ninth, even though he’s hitting .345 with six homers in his last 34 games. He deserves to be batting at least sixth right now, but it’s not like the Braves are struggling with the current arrangement.

Angels vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Giolito struggled in his first start with the Angels, allowing three runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Blue Jays. He’ll find things even more challenging today against a Braves team that can absolutely mash. At a moneyline price less than -150, I’ll take the Braves all day long, regardless of the pitching matchup.
