St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Corey Dickerson went 4-for-4 with a double in Wednesday’s loss to the Cubs. The double was Dickerson’s 11th of the season. That makes two straight red-hot games for the veteran outfielder, who has picked up a scalding eight hits (three doubles) over his last nine at-bats. Overall this season, Dickerson is slashing .268/.307/.409 with four homers and 21 RBI in 164 at-bats. A left calf injury cost him over a month of action earlier this summer, hence the relatively limited number of at-bats.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Nico Hoerner went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and two runs scored in Wednesday’s win over the Cardinals. Hoerner managed three singles on the evening, including an RBI knock in the eighth to give the Cubs a comfortable 6-1 advantage. On the whole this season, the 25-year-old infielder is slashing .291/.338/.408 with seven homers, 41 RBI and 14 steals (a career-best mark) across 385 at-bats. Hoerner had failed to pick up a hit in eight straight games prior to Wednesday’s nice performance.
