Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jose Altuve went 3-for-5 with three RBI and a steal in Wednesday’s 8-2 win over the Orioles. All three of Altuve’s hits were singles, but he got on base, stole a base, and scored two runs, which is all the Astros really need from him as a lead-off hitter. The steal was his 11th of the season in just 44 games. He’s hitting .290/.386/.497 with eight home runs and continues to prove that the late-career renaissance is not a fluke.
Baltimore Orioles DFS SPIN
Austin Hays homered in Wednesday’s loss to the Astros. The home run was his 10th of the season and was a 399-foot shot that left the bat at 104 mph. It was his only hit of the game, but Hays is hitting a solid .283/.325/.444 on the season. However, without much power and speed to add to his game, Hays remains at risk of losing at-bats next year to Baltimore’s impressive crop of minor league hitters.

Astros vs. Orioles MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Brown is 8-7 with a 4.07 ERA after allowing two runs while striking out four over six innings while beating the Rays on July 28 and the Yankees last Friday. He surrendered four hits to the Rays and five versus the Yankees. On the other side, Kremer is 10-4 on the year but owns a 4.61 ERA. He received a no-decision in each of his past four starts, allowing two runs and two hits in 5 1/3 against the Mets on Friday, which was his last outing. Kremer struggles to keep the ball in the yard and with the way the Astros can swing it, I like Houston at its current moneyline price.
