Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Ronald Acuña Jr. hit his 10th homer and singled Tuesday against the Rangers. Acuña absolutely crushed the ball tonight; his four balls in play came in an 115.6, 114.8, 110.6 and 106.6 mph. The softest of those was a 405-foot flyout that would have been a homer in several parks.
Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Will Smith worked a perfect ninth in a three-run game for a save Tuesday against the Braves. Smith gave up a couple of well-hit balls, but they were both turned into outs, and he was able to strike out Kevin Pillar to end the game against one of his former teams. He’s up to eight saves, and with no one else stepping up in the Texas pen, he’d seem to have a fair amount of job security at this point.
