Los Angeles Angels DFS SPIN
Mickey Moniak made an early exit from Tuesday’s battle against the Phillies due to soreness in his back. One of the few Angels who didn’t get waived prior to Tuesday’s game, Moniak was pulled prior to taking the field in the seventh inning after suffering the injury. As of now, it doesn’t appear to be anything that should keep him out for an extended period of time, so he should be considered day-to-day.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Alec Bohm went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer as the Phillies won their 74th game of the season. Angels starter Tyler Anderson walked red-hot Bryce Harper with no outs to get to the 27-year-old first baseman. He made the Angels look foolish as he connected with his 15th homer of the season and gave the Phillies the lead. The Phillies have been mashing homers left and right in August. Bohm, plus five other Phillies hitters (Schwarber, Harper, Castellanos, Turner and Stott) have hit five or more dingers in August. Unbelievable. Bohm is now hitting .283/.339/.440 with 82 RBIs, and while he won’t be considered a league winner, most fantasy managers are pleased with the production, especially where he was going in drafts this spring.

I love the Phillies at this number. Over his last three starts (14 2/3 innings), Detmers owns a 6.75 ERA and 7.09 FIP. Today, he’ll face a Phillies offense that has generated a 172 wRC+ over their last 10 games, which is the highest mark in baseball since August 19. Finally, Sanchez is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 4.16 FIP over his last three starts, which span 18 innings.
