Seattle Mariners DFS SPIN
With Paul Sewald needing a day off, Matt Brash got to close for the Mariners on Sunday, but he allowed two runs in the ninth and took a blown save against the Guardians. Brash is the No. 2 man in the Seattle pen with Andrés Muñoz sidelined, but this didn’t go well, as he walked a batter and allowed two well-struck base hits. Sewald will be back in the closer’s role on Monday.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Edwin Rios hit a two-run homer and walked Sunday in his first start since Monday. Rios’s homer off Jon Gray gave the Cubs their only runs in the loss. He’s been looking like the favorite to be sent down by the Cubs when Seiya Suzuki comes off the IL, but he has an argument for sticking around.
