Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Aledmys Díaz went 2-for-4 and plated the Astros lone run in Saturday’s loss to the Guardians. Díaz hit a one-out double off of Trevor Stephan in the seventh inning, but wound up stranded there. He then socked an RBI double off of Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase in the ninth, ensuring that the Astros would not be shut out. With the two-hit attack, he’s now hitting .255/.312/.424 with nine homers and 27 RBI in 250 plate appearances on the season.
Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Amed Rosario went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs on Saturday, leading the Guardians to a 4-1 victory over the visiting Astros. Rosario smacked a two-run single off of Luis Garcia in the second inning that extended the Guardians early lead to 4-0. That would be the extent of their offense in the game, but was more than enough for Cal Quantrill and company. The 26-year-old has been sizzling at the plate in recent weeks and is now slashing .288/.323/.413 with seven homers, 44 RBI and 10 swipes on the season.
