Houston Astros DFS Spin
Astros third baseman Alex Bregman drove in a third of his team’s runs in their 9-3 loss to Minnesota on Saturday. In that contest, the former 2019 All-Star went 1 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Bregman is hitting .251 with 10 homers, 41 RBIs, and an OPS of .718 this season. He’s batting .297 with a .778 OPS during day games this season, so you could consider using him in DFS for Sunday’s game considering that the first pitch is at 1:10 PM local time.
Minnesota Twins DFS Spin
Twins second baseman Willi Castro had a game-high 3 hits in his club’s 9-3 win over the Astros on Saturday. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, Castro went 3 for 5 with a double, an RBI, and 2 runs scored. Castro is in the midst of a breakout campaign as he’s slashing .272/.359/.441 with 22 doubles, 5 triples, 7 homers, 29 RBIs, 54 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases in 2024. Castro is hitting .291 with an OPS of .887 over the past 30 days, so he’s worthy of DFS consideration in most formats on Sunday.

Astros vs. Twins Betting Prediction
Saturday’s game saw the Astros lose to the Twins 9-3. It had some fluky elements to it. Houston starter Hunter Brown had thrown 8 straight quality starts before Saturday’s contest. He got shelled for 7 earned runs on 12 hits in 6 innings. If the Astros lose again on Sunday, it would be the first time they’ve lost back-to-back games since June 10th. Since June 10th, Houston has gone 16-6 straight up. I think the Astros are able to put Saturday’s game behind them, and I believe that they will come out on Sunday and take the rubber match and the series. I’m taking Houston on the road as money-line underdogs on Sunday afternoon.
