Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Bryan Abreu struck out two in a perfect ninth Saturday for his first save versus the Braves. Ryan Pressly had this one off after working three of the previous four days. The Astros could have used Abreu in the eighth and Rafael Montero in the ninth, but they opted to keep Montero in his usual setup role. Abreu is the better pitcher anyway.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Ronald Acuña Jr. went 2-for-4 with three steals Saturday against the Astros. That’s 11 steals for Acuña, making him the major league leader by two over Cedric Mullins and Nico Hoerner. He never touched home plate tonight, but he’s scored 19 runs in 21 games.

Astros vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I’m not going to tempt fate by fading Fried but Houston has been locked in this series so I’m going to roll with the over instead. The over is 5-0-1 in the last six meetings between these two teams in Atlanta and is 4-0-1 in the last five meetings overall. The over is also 5-1-1 in the Astros’ last seven games overall, is 5-1-1 in their last seven games versus a team with a winning record and has cashed in four of their last five road games. On the other side, the over is 4-0 in the Braves’ last four games following a loss, is 6-0 in their last six home games and is 4-0 in their last four games versus a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.
