Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jose Altuve went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and two steals in Wednesday’s win over the White Sox. No hits on the evening for Altuve, but he was all over the place, regardless. The veteran second baseman is working to a .277/.368/.503 triple-slash with 20 homers, 42 RBI and 12 steals. Those 12 steals are the most Altuve has logged in a season since swiping 17 bases during the 2018 campaign.
Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
José Abreu went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday’s loss to the Astros. Abreu was the only White Sox batter to finish with multiple knocks in the end 3-2 defeat. Overall this season, the veteran slugger is slashing .309/.384/.467 with 14 home runs and 56 RBI in 443 at-bats. This would be his fourth career season of at least a .300 batting average if he can keep his numbers up through the end of the campaign.
