New York Mets DFS SPIN
Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with a long two-run homer, a double, and a walk on Saturday in a lopsided win over the Cardinals. Alonso’s seventh-inning blast traveled 466 feet to distant center field. He was greeted by plenty of boos throughout of the evening after his mix-up with the ball from Masyn Winn’s first MLB hit on Friday, but obviously it had no impact on his performance at the plate. He’s now sitting on 38 homers for the season to go along with 93 RBI. Only Atlanta’s Matt Olson has more home runs and RBI than Alonso.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Jordan Walker was not in the Cardinals’ starting lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Mets. Walker has played in the last seven games for the Cardinals and will get extended rest Saturday evening. The 21-year-old is hitting .257/.325/.417 with 11 homers and 34 RBI across 317 plate appearances. Alec Burleson will bat sixth and patrol right field in his absence.

Mets vs. Cardinals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Carrasco owns a 0-3 record with a 10.13 ERA and a 5.46 FIP over his last five starts, spanning 18 2/3 innings in the process. Hudson, meanwhile, is 3-0 with a 3.86 ERA over his last three starts, which span 18 2/3 innings. However, with a 6.05 FIP, Hudson hasn’t pitched as well as his ERA would indicate. With a couple of gas cans on the hill today, give me the over.
