Seattle Mariners DFS Spin
Mariners left fielder Luke Raley was instrumental in his team’s 5-0 win over the Rangers on Sunday afternoon. In that contest, the left-handed hitter went 1 for 3 with a double, an RBI, a run scored, and a walk. Raley has a .751 OPS against right-handed pitching this season, but just a .624 OPS against southpaws in 2024. He may be a worthwhile option in DFS against Guardians starter Triston McKenzie, who has allowed a .715 OPS to left-handed batters this season.
Cleveland Guardians DFS Spin
Guardians shortstop Brayan Rocchio hit well during his team’s 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday. In that contest, the Caracas, Venezuela native went 1 for 3 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. Over the past 15 days, Brayan Rocchio is slashing ..286/.355/.571 with 2 doubles, 2 homers, 4 RBIs, 6 runs scored, and 2 walks. If you’re looking for a cheaper option in DFS at shortstop on Tuesday, Brayan Rocchio should be worth a look in the majority of formats.

Mariners vs. Guardians Betting Prediction
Seattle is currently playing like one of the best teams in baseball. The Mariners are 7-1 straight up in their last 8 games with the only loss during that stretch coming in extra innings. The key over that span has been run prevention. In that 8-game period, Seattle held every team to 5 runs or less, and their opponents scored 4 runs or fewer in 6 of those 8 contests. It helps that the Mariners will have Bryce Miller on the bump for this one as well.
Bryce Miller is 5-5 this season with an ERA of 3.48 and a WHIP of 0.98. His strikeout-to-walk ratio is 3.3 and his K/9 is 8.7. Miller has tossed 8 quality starts this season, and has gone at least 6 innings and allowed 2 or fewer earned runs in 3 of his past 4 starts. I think Seattle keeps the momentum going with an outright win on the road in Cleveland on Tuesday night.
