Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Chris Taylor, who has been dealing with side discomfort, came off the bench Friday and struck out in both of his at-bats. He played both second and third base in the game. Taylor hadn’t taken an at-bat since Monday, though he did pinch-run on Wednesday. Perhaps he’ll be in the lineup on Saturday.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Nico Hoerner went 4-for-5 and hit his first home run against the Dodgers in Friday’s victory.Hoerner has his strikeout rate down to 6.6% this year, and he hasn’t sacrificed any of his admittedly modest power to achieve hit. His exit velocity numbers are as good as they’ve ever been, and he’s been rewarded with a .365 average for making so much contact.
