Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters after Sunday’s game that Jason Heyward (neck) passed all of his concussion tests and is considered day-to-day. Heyward suffered a stinger when he jammed his neck while attempting to slide into second base during Sunday’s game. Fortunately, it looks like he was able to avoid any serious injury. He should return to action early next week.
Baltimore Orioles DFS SPIN
Adley Rutschman went 1-for-4 with one RBI during Sunday’s victory over the Marlins. Rutschman continued his strong month of July with a 102.7 mph double in the first inning. The catcher came into the game hitting .326/.370/.465 in 11 games in July, scoring eight runs and knocking in four. His presence at the top of a strong Orioles’ lineup makes him a solid source of runs and RBI for the second half of the season; however, the small fly in the soup is that Rutschman’s strikeout rate is now up over 24 percent in July, his highest of any month this season. He added another strikeout to his total on Sunday; although, he’s not yet swinging and missing enough for it to be a real concern.

Dodgers vs. Orioles MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Both of these teams are red-hot so there’s risk on either side. That said, Grayson Rodriguez is coming off a pair of outstanding starts in Triple-A and the Orioles are 7-3 in games that he has pitched all-told. Meanwhile, Emmet Sheehan is 2-0 with a 4.35 ERA but he’s coming off a rough outing versus the lowly Pirates on Fourth of July. He allowed five runs on four hits and walked four in just 3 2/3 innings of work. Again, with both teams on fire right now, I’m going to take the home team.
