New York Mets DFS SPIN
Francisco Lindor went 2-for-5 with an RBI single in Sunday’s win over the Diamondbacks. After Mark Canha singled to leadoff the game and reached second base on throwing error by Sergio Alcantara, Lindor poked a soft single to center field, giving the Mets the early lead. Lindor looked uncomfortable at the plate at times in 2021, but through his first 64 at-bats of 2022, he’s slashing .313/.408/.563 with four home runs and three steals.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS Spin
Yadier Molina went 0-for-4 in the loss to the Reds on Sunday. In nine games to date, Molina has yet to collect an extra-base hit, drive in a run, score a run or draw a walk. He has a .138/.138/.138 line. The Cardinals are already playing Andrew Knizner more than ever before, and it seems like something that needs to continue.
Mets vs. Cardinals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
