Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Steven Kwan went 2-5, with a pair of singles in the game three loss to Los Angeles. There isn’t much to rely on in Cleveland right now, with Josh Naylor on the shelf and Jose Ramirez in a bit of a slump, but there does lie a consistent bat atop the lineup in Steven Kwan. The Oregon State product has reached base in eight of his last ten games, while specifically recording a single in three of his last five. Kwan leads Cleveland in batting (.270) and hits (137), with 43 RBI.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Bo Bichette went 1-4, with a run scored in the game three loss to Baltimore. Bichette has picked up where he left off atop the Blue Jays lineup, as he’s recorded a hit in eleven straight games dating back to late July. Bichette is among league leaders with .318 batting average, while still leading the team in hits (150) despite missing nearly a month of action. Bichette has also hit eighteen homers and driven in 61 runs.

Guardians vs. Blue Jays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
The downward spiral in Cleveland has been disappointing, as they had a chance to fight for a division crown prior to selling at the deadline. The business decision to move Ames Rosario specifically has hindered the lineup in ways beyond the stat sheet, and with the Blue Jays needing to bounce back themselves, I believe they come through strong at home. Back Toronto to cover here in game one.
