New York Mets DFS SPIN
Francisco Lindor belted a game-tying solo home run in the sixth inning on Sunday, helping to lead the Mets to victory over the Guardians. Lindor crushed a game-tying 404-foot blast (100.1 mph EV) on an 0-2 knuckle curve from Shane Bieber to open the sixth inning. He also singled during the Mets’ go-ahead rally in the eighth inning, finishing his night 2-for-4. With the two-hit attack, the 29-year-old shortstop is now slashing .235/.311/.428 with seven long balls and 33 RBI on the year.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Christopher Morel blasted a solo homer on Sunday in the Cubs’ loss to the Phillies. Unreal. Morel clobbered his eighth round-tripper in just 11 games since being called up from Triple-A Iowa earlier this month, taking Phillies closer Craig Kimbrel deep for a ninth-inning solo shot. The versatile 23-year-old is looking like one of the potential breakout stars of the 2023 campaign, slashing an astronomical .370/.396/.957 with 15 runs scored, eight homers, 14 RBI and one stolen base across 48 plate appearances. We’re quickly running out of superlatives to describe his early-season exploits.
