Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Julio Urías scattered two hits, walked two, and struck out five over six shutout innings in Saturday’s win over the Giants. Urías held the Giants to just two hits on Saturday: a 96.2-mph double from Austin Slater in the top of the first, and a single from Slater in the top of the third. He did finish with an uninspiring 16 percent whiff rate, but his ability to fill up the zone with strikes was on full display. The 25-year-old southpaw will bring a sterling 2.72 ERA into Thursday’s start at the Rockies.
Colorado Rockies DFS SPIN
Chad Kuhl was pounded for five runs in 2 2/3 innings by the Brewers on Sunday. Kuhl entered July with a 3.49 ERA, but he’s given up 17 runs in 17 innings this month, putting him at 4.48 for the year. His trade value is definitely tumbling.
