Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Ronald Acuña Jr. has been selected to the 2023 National League All-Star team as a starting outfielder. Acuña Jr. received the most total votes of any player in the opening phase of All-Star balloting and automatically qualifies for a starting spot. It’ll be the fourth trip to the Midsummer Classic for the 25-year-old superstar, who has put together the finest season of his career to-date, batting .324/.400/.552 with 64 runs scored, 15 homers, 46 RBI and 32 stolen bases across 340 plate appearances.
Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN
Jake Fraley went 2-for-4 and hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth as the Reds topped the Rockies 5-3 on Wednesday. Fraley’s 359-foot homer would have left seven ballparks, according to Statcast, but it was deep enough in Cincinnati. It was his fourth in his last eight games and ninth in 212 plate appearances overall.
