New York Mets DFS SPIN
Mets selected the contract of 2B Jonathan Araúz from Triple-A Syracuse. Araúz is at second base and batting seventh on Wednesday night against the Royals in his Mets debut. The 24-year-old infielder has posted a .773 OPS with 14 homers and two steals in 395 plate appearances over 95 games this season for Triple-A Syracuse. He’s appeared in 68 games in the majors with the Red Sox and Orioles since 2020.
Kansas City Royals DFS SPIN
Bobby Witt Jr. went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base on Wednesday in a 4-0 win against the Mets. Witt Jr. singled in first inning and came around to score on a double by Michael Massey. He drove in the third run for the Royals with a base hit in the second before stealing his 30th base of the season. The 23-year-old shortstop becomes only the third player in major league history to start his career with back-to-back 15-homer, 30-steal seasons. He’s hitting .264/.302/.464 with 18 homers and 62 RBI across 465 plate appearances.

Mets vs. Royals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Carrasco is having a disastrous season ahead of free agency. He’s 3-5 with a 6.40 ERA and took the loss in his most recent start on Saturday when he allowed eight runs – six earned – over 2 1/3 innings as the Mets fell to the Nationals, 11-6. Singer, meanwhile, is 6-8 with a 5.46 ERA and didn’t factor into the decision on Friday after allowing two runs and striking out a season-high 10 over five innings against the Twins. The Mets look D.O.A. right now and with the way Carrasco is pitching, I like the Royals to pick up another win in this series.
