Arizona Diamondbacks DFS SPIN
Ketel Marte went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday’s loss to the Rockies. Marte sent a low fastball from Germán Márquez towards the right-field seats in the bottom of the first — his sixth home run of the season. Marte’s been adequate through 271 at-bats (.266 batting average), but he’s probably not going to reach 30 home runs again this season. He might even fail to hit 20.
San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
Wilmer Flores went 4-for-6 with four RBI and two runs scored Sunday as the Giants defeated the Padres. This was his first multi-home run game since June 20th, 2021. He hit a 387-foot two-run home run off of MacKenzie Gore in the top of the third, and hit a 101.7-mph solo home run to left field with two men out in the top of the ninth. Flores has three home runs over his last two games.
