Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Matt Olson finished 3-for-5 with a grand slam and two doubles in the Braves’ 14-2 rout of the Pirates on Wednesday. Olson’s eighth-inning four-run blast, the fifth grand slam of his career, sailed all the way out of PNC Park and into the Allegheny River. It was the 66th-ever home to reach the water in Pittsburgh, and the first by a member of the Braves. Paired with the two doubles, Olson now ranks third among all MLB hitters in extra-base hits with 66 — one behind teammate Austin Riley and two behind overall leader Aaron Judge.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Paul Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with two homers and five RBI as the Cardinals topped the Cubs 8-3 on Thursday. He homered off Sean Newcomb in the sixth inning and Kervin Castro in the eighth to put the game away. Goldschmidt’s first half was plenty stellar, but he’s taken it to another level in the second half, hitting .350/.425/.728 with 11 homers and 30 RBI in 27 games. That 1.153 OPS is nearly 150 points better than his first-half mark of 1.004.
