Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Christopher Morel homered and drove in three runs on Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Cubs past the Guardians. Morel squared up a 95.3 mph fastball from Trevor Stephan and walloped a 418-foot (110.4 mph EV) solo shot that pulled the Cubs to within four runs at 6-2. He also added a two-run single in the ninth inning, finishing the afternoon 3-for-5. On the season, the 24-year-old slugger is now hitting .279/327/.617 to go with 15 long balls and 37 RBI.
Milwaukee Brewers DFS SPIN
William Contreras went 2-for-5 and hit a three-run homer to propel the Brewers past the Pirates 6-3 on Sunday. The third-inning homer from Contreras accounted for all of the Brewers’ scoring off Rich Hill, though they did add on after the bullpen took over. Contreras is batting .247/.337/.421 with nine homers in 267 plate appearances. That’s not quite up to par with last year’s .278/.354/.506 line, but he probably overachieved some then. His exit velocity numbers are strong enough that it’s easy to imagine him stepping it up some. However, that’s not how catchers typically trend as the year wears on.
