Cleveland Guardians DFS Spin
Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez had a big day as the team’s #2 hitter on Friday night. In his team’s 3-1 win over the Blue Jays, Gimenez went 2 for 4 with an RBI and a stolen base. Gimenez is slashing .266/.320/.363 this season with 4 homers, 35 RBIs, 35 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. He’s a left-handed hitter. That means he could be worth a look in DFS if Toronto sends out a righthanded starter like Bowden Francis or Jose Berrios on Saturday afternoon.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS Spin
Blue Jays left fielder Davis Schneider drove in his team’s only run of the game during their 3-1 loss to the Guardians on Friday. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, Schneider went 1 for 4 with an RBI single in the 6th inning. That knock was the only thing that prevented Toronto from being shut out. Schneider is hitting .230 with 8 homers, 33 RBIs, 29 runs scored, and 3 stolen bases this season. He sports a season-long OPS of .747. Davis Schneider has reverse splits as a right-handed batter (.785 OPS against righties, .666 OPS against lefties) so he could be in play with Guardians right-hander Carlos Carrasco taking the hill on Saturday.

Guardians vs. Blue Jays Betting Prediction
Toronto hasn’t named a starting pitcher for this contest at the time of this writing. Blue Jays ace Jose Berrios last pitched against Milwaukee on Monday, so he would be pitching on normal rest if he took the ball on Saturday. Bowden Francis threw 49 pitches over 4 innings against the Athletics on Sunday, so he would have an extra day to rest if he were to pitch on Saturday. Who Toronto ultimately sends to the mound is worth keeping an eye on when handicapping this contest.
Cleveland has the third-best road record in all of baseball at 23-15. The Guardians are one of only 4 teams with a winning percentage of .600 or better on the road this season. That and the Guardians’ deep, diverse, and versatile lineup is why I like them to win this game outright. I’m taking the Guardians on the road on the money line in Toronto on Saturday afternoon.
