Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jeremy Peña slugged his 16th home run of the season as the Astros fell to the Braves in extra innings on Saturday night. Peña victimized Braves rookie right-hander Spencer Strider for his 385-foot blast to open the scoring in the fifth inning. He also drove in a run with a ground out in the 10th inning, finishing the night 2-for-5. While he has slumped as of late, he’s still hitting a respectable .248/.290/.421 with the aforementioned 16 long balls, 43 RBI and seven stolen bases on the season.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Matt Olson delivered a go-ahead RBI double in the 11th inning on Saturday as the Braves rallied to defeat the Astros in 11 innings. Olson smacked his run-scoring double off of Ryne Stanek, giving the Braves a 4-3 lead. It was his only hit in five at-bats on the night, but proved to be critical in the victory. He’s now slashing .248/.332/.485 with 25 homers and 81 RBI in his first season with the Braves.

Astros vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
It’s hard fathoming the Astros getting swept but they’re just 2-6 in their last eight road games and have now dropped seven of their last 10 games when facing a right-handed starter. The Braves, meanwhile, remain red-hot. They’re 52-20 over their last 72 games overall, are 20-6 in their last 26 home games when facing a righty and they’re 36-15 in their last 51 games coming off a win. I expect one of the hottest teams in baseball to remain hot with another victory today.
