Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Marcell Ozuna blasted his fourth home run of the season, but it wasn’t enough to power the Braves to victory over the Padres on Sunday night. Ozuna led off the seventh inning with a 408-foot blast off of Yu Darvish, pulling the Braves to within a run at 2-1. That would be as close as they would get. He finished the night 1-for-4 with a strikeout. Ozuna is off to a nice start at the plate this season, slashing a healthy .318/.326/.659 to go along with his four long balls and eight RBI.
Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Justin Turner went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Sunday’s win over the Reds. After hitting a 91.4 mph single in the bottom of the fourth, Turner came around to score on a Chris Taylor RBI double three batters later. The veteran third baseman is primed to once again be one of the more reliable third base options in fantasy.
