Cleveland Guardians DFS Spin
Cleveland left fielder Steven Kwan did a great job out of the leadoff spot in his team’s 6-3 loss to Arizona on Saturday night. In that contest, Kwan went 4 for 5 with 4 singles and a run scored. For the season, Steven Kwan is slashing .263/.342/.349 with 44 runs scored, 16 doubles, 2 homers, 21 RBIs, and 12 stolen bases. Kwan will have the platoon advantage over Diamondbacks righty Zach Davies, making the Guardians’ outfielder a good source of speed and contact hitting in DFS on Sunday.
Arizona Diamondbacks DFS Spin
Arizona first baseman Christian Walker was key in his team’s 6-3 win over Cleveland on Saturday night. Hitting out of the #4 spot in the lineup, Walker went 2 for 4 with an infield single and a 2-run homer to right center. Walker is hitting in the heart of a dangerous lineup, making him an attractive DFS option. For the season, Walker has an OPS of .833 with 18 doubles, 14 homers, and 45 RBIs across 285 plate appearances.

Guardians vs. Diamondbacks Betting Prediction
The top half of Arizona’s lineup is as good as any in baseball. As a result, the Diamondbacks have been good at stringing together good hitting performances as they are 19-7 in their last 26 games after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Arizona has also taken care of business against subpar teams as they are 20-7 in their last 27 games against a team with a losing record. The Diamondbacks have hit righties well all year as they are 18-6 in their last 24 games against a right-handed starting pitcher. I like Arizona to complete the three-game sweep over Cleveland on Sunday afternoon.
