Arizona Diamondbacks DFS SPIN
Tommy Henry was charged with a loss after allowing three runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings Sunday against the Blue Jays. Henry has been very good for Arizona, but the Blue Jays figured him out today, averaging a 95-mph exit velocity and picking up seven hits on 14 balls in play. He’s not a strong play in mixed leagues with a road start in Cincinnati up next.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Michael Harris II went 2-for-4 in the Braves’ loss to the White Sox on Sunday. Harris II was the only Atlanta hitter to record multiple hits in what was a pretty lethargic effort on Sunday. The 22-year-old has had an up-and-down year, struggling to start the season but then seemingly turning things around with a strong June that saw him hit .372 with five home runs, 14 RBI, and four steals. Coming into Sunday’s game, he was hitting just .212/.278/.424 in 10 games in July with two home runs and two steals. Considering he also had two hits in the first game of the series, perhaps the All-Star break gave him a chance to reset at the plate.

Diamondbacks vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I’m taking the Braves on the runline. Zach Davies has allowed a total of seven runs in 11 innings that span his last two starts. He has completed seven innings just once in his last 11 starts this season and guys like Marcell Ozuna (10-for-26 lifetime) own the right-hander. On the other side, the Braves will start Bryce Edler, who is 7-2 with a 2.97 ERA. While he was roughed up for seven runs over 3 1/3 innings in a 10-4 loss, that defeat came against the Rays, who are a legit World Series contender. The Diamondbacks haven’t hit in over a month.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5 (-115)
