San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
After striking out in his first three at-bats, Evan Longoria hit a go-ahead homer in the ninth inning against the Phillies on Monday. Longoria gave the Giants a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth before the Phillies came back to tie it. It was Longoria’s fifth homer in 16 games since he came off the IL. His 34% strikeout rate is scary, but he’s hitting the ball awfully hard when he makes contact.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Corey Knebel allowed a go-ahead solo homer in the top of the ninth Monday against the Giants. Knebel, who blew his third save of the year Sunday, got a vote of confidence from manager Joe Girardi before the game. After another miscue and second straight tough loss for the Phillies, one wonders if the team will go away from him for a bit, even if he still seems like a better bet than his possible replacements (Brad Hand is probably next in line). Even after the last two days, Knebel has a 3.43 ERA. He’s given up homers in back-to-back games, but he didn’t allow any in his previous 19 appearances this season.
