Arizona Diamondbacks DFS SPIN
Corbin Carroll homered and doubled against the Marlins in Sunday’s win. The double was well hit, but it was right at Bryan De La Cruz, who lost it in the lights at the last second. It was originally ruled an error and should have stayed that way, but it was subsequently changed to a hit. There was no such controversy about the homer, which was hit 414 feet to center. Both shots came off Sandy Alcantara.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Lars Nootbaar had a two-run homer and three walks, two of which were intentional, as the Cardinals edged the Pirates 5-4 in 10 innings Sunday. Nootbaar was walked ahead of Jordan Walker in both the eighth and 10th innings, and it worked out for the Pirates both times. Nootbaar has eight walks in just three games this season, giving him a fun .286/.667/.714 line. He’ll be a fixture against right-handers in the crowded St. Louis outfield.
