Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jose Altuve went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored Wednesday against the Red Sox. That makes 34 four-hit games for Altuve, which ties him with Craig Biggio for the most in franchise history. Altuve has never had a five-hit game, which is a little hard to believe.
Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Amed Rosario had a three-run homer and a double as the Guardians topped the Diamondbacks 7-4 on Wednesday. Rosario crushed his homer today, hitting it 450 feet off Tommy Henry. It’d be nice if he could do that a bit more often, given that the power is clearly there. As is, he has just six homers in 427 plate appearances on the season. Still, his .293/.328/.414 line is pretty good.
