St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Wednesday’s loss to the Braves. Goldschmidt collected his 27th double of the campaign, but the Cardinals were unable to do anything with the extra-base hit in what finished as a 3-0 loss. Overall this season, the veteran first baseman is slashing a strong-even-for-him .343/.427/.620 with 19 homers, 65 RBI and three steals across 303 at-bats. The numbers are fantastic, of course, though we’ll note that Goldy has now gone eight straight games without a homer.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday’s win over the Cardinals. After the two clubs traded zeroes into the bottom of the fifth inning, Ozuna shook the ice off the scoreboard with a solo homer off Miles Mikolas. Eddie Rosario would make it back-to-back taters for the Braves shortly thereafter. On the whole this season, Ozuna is hitting .229/.280/.428 with 17 homers and 35 RBI across 306 at-bats. He bumped up to a five-game hitting streak with Wednesday’s knocks and has cracked three homers over his last four games.
