San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
LaMonte Wade Jr. went 2-for-4 with a leadoff homer on Saturday in the Giants’ loss to the Braves. Wade Jr. got the Giants on the scoreboard early with a leadoff homer against Braves starter Yonny Chirinos. It was his 12th big fly of the season and first time he’s left the yard since August 3.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Ronald Acuña Jr. launched his 28th round-tripper of the season on Saturday in the Braves’ win over the Giants. Acuña Jr. took Giants ace Logan Webb deep in the fifth inning for his fourth long ball in 18 games since the start of August. It wound up being his lone hit of the contest, but ended up tying the low-scoring affair at the time. The 25-year-old National League MVP Award front-runner is slashing .333/.418/.573 with 111 runs scored, 28 homers, 74 RBI and 55 stolen bases across 564 plate appearances.

Junis has only pitched seven innings over the past month, posting a 0.00 ERA and 0.84 FIP over that span. Fried, meanwhile, is 2-0 with a 3.38 ERA and 2.08 FIP across his 16 innings and three starts over the past month. Fried will also face a Giants offense that, while it did come alive a little last night in Atlanta, has posted a 64 wRC+ over the past 30 days. Give me the under.
