Seattle Mariners DFS SPIN
J.P. Crawford went hitless (0-4) in the game one win over Tampa. Every batter was cold at Tropicana last night, but Crawford has thrived alongside the power bats in the Seattle lineup since returning in late August. Crawford has collected a hit in 10 of the last 13 games, while totaling multiple bases in seven of those contests. Crawford has also produced a run in eight games during that stretch, and he’ll look to get back into the hit column this Friday. Crawford is batting .271, with 15 home runs and 50 RBI.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Yandy Diaz also went hitless (0-4) in last night’s contest with Seattle. Diaz fell victim to a dominant outing from Luis Castillo, and after going without a hit in consecutive contests, there’s a good chance he finds a base knock Friday. Diaz recorded a hit in 12 of 14 games prior to the last two nights, specifically recording a single in nine of those. Diaz leads Tampa in batting (.317), with eighteen homers and 67 RBI.

Mariners vs Rays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Seattle got a gem from Luis Castillo in game one, and they’ll now look, and with George Kirby set to go on Friday, there’s a good chance their momentum continues. Kirby’s in a bounce back spot after struggling in Queens last week, but I think this contest will be more about the bats, after both lineups went through a dormant stretch at the plate last night. Let’s back Seattle to win here, and double down with the Over, as there should be more production Friday in game two.
