San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
Brandon Crawford had a rough night at the dish in Friday’s loss to the Braves, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. The 36-year-old shortstop has been a disaster at the dish for most of the season — slashing a cringe-inducing .194/.264/.318 with just six homers, 32 RBI and three stolen bases in 270 plate appearances. An impending free agent at season’s end, Crawford could be nearing the end of the line.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Michael Harris II went 4-for-5 with a double, triple, RBI and a run scored on Friday night, propelling the Braves to a 4-0 victory over the Giants. The dynamic 22-year-old outfielder smacked a two-out triple off of Alex Cobb in the second inning and scored on an RBI double by Austin Riley. He then delivered an RBI single of his own off of Scott Alexander in the sixth inning that extended the Braves’ lead to 3-0. He also swiped second base before getting stranded there. His slow start to the season is now a distant memory as Harris II is slashing a stellar .291/.340/.459 with 11 homers, 37 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 375 plate appearances on the season.

Giants vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Webb is 1-2 with a 3.90 ERA and 3.00 FIP over his last five starts, spanning 30 innings in the process. So he’s been fantastic over the past month. As for Chirinos, he’s 1-1 with a 9.33 ERA and 5.28 FIP over his last four starts (18 1/3 innings), so he’s been atrocious. However, the Giants offense has been equally as bad, posting a 63 wRC+ over the last 30 days, which is the lowest mark in baseball over that span. Give me the under.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: GIANTS/BRAVES UNDER 9.5
