St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Albert Pujols walloped a go-ahead solo homer in the seventh inning on Monday night, powering the Cardinals to a 1-0 victory over the Cubs and their eighth consecutive victory. The legendary slugger smacked a 1-2 sinker from Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly over the wall in left-center to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. Pujols also singled in the ballgame, going 2-for-4 and collecting half of the team’s hits. The 42-year-old slugger has been on an absolute tear at the plate in recent weeks, hitting .408 (31-for-76) with 10 homers and 20 RBI over his last 25 games dating back to July 10. On the season, he’s slashing .277/.351/.530 with 14 long balls and 38 RBI.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Christopher Morel went 1-for-3 with a double — collecting the Cubs lone hit against Jordan Montgomery in Monday’s loss to the Cardinals. Morel smacked a two-out double off of the Cardinals southpaw in the third inning — then advanced to third base on an error — but the Cubs were unable to cash him in. He would wind up being the only member of the Cubs to reach base in the game. With the 1-for-3 effort, the 23-year-old is now hitting .256/.323/.460 with 12 homers, 34 RBI and nine stolen bases through 78 games in what has been a very productive rookie campaign.
