Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jose Altuve reached five times and hit his fourth homer Wednesday as the Astros took down the Cardinals 10-7. Altuve doubled and walked three times, but the big blow was his three-run homer off Giovanny Gallegos in the eighth, giving the Astros a one-run lead. José Abreu added the insurance with a two-run homer later in the frame. The one stellar game was enough to raise Altuve’s OPS from .774 to .846.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Brendan Donovan went 2-for-4 with a homer and a walk against the Astros on Wednesday. Donovan has picked it up this month, batting .310 with three homers and 11 RBI. He doesn’t really offer enough in any one category to be a big factor in mixed leagues, but with his ability to do a little bit of everything and his eligibility at four positions, he’s not a bad use of a roster spot.
