Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
James Outman hit an opposite-field, 414-foot homer Wednesday against the Orioles. MLB.com’s Mike Petriello pointed out that Outman is the first left-handed hitter to hit one over the wall in left field in Baltimore since the fence was moved back last year. That’s an impressive feat for the rookie, who is batting .310 with three homers in 13 games this month.
Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
X-rays came back negative on Adolis García’s left arm after being hit by a pitch during Wednesday’s game against the Rays. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters that García is merely dealing with a contusion after being hit on the left arm in the forearm or elbow area by a pitch during the eighth inning of Wednesday’s series finale. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’s a massive relief that the 30-year-old fantasy stalwart, who leads the majors with 80 RBI this season, managed to avoid a serious injury.

Dodgers vs. Rangers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Both of these teams have come out of the gates in the second half on fire but I don’t trust Andrew Heaney against this former team. He’s 1-2 with a 5.67 ERA across six starts against the Dodgers and last faced L.A. on September 25 as a member of the Angels. He allowed five runs on eight hits with two walks and three strikeouts over four innings in a no-decision. On the other side, Tony Gonsolin is 5-3 with a 3.72 ERA and is coming off a olid start against the Mets on Saturday.
