Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
Luke Voit went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday’s loss to the Cardinals. Voit put the Nationals up 4-1 with his two-run homer off Giovanni Gallegos in the eighth inning. They would score once more in the frame to go up 5-1, only for the Cardinals to come storming back for the win in the bottom of the ninth. In 403 at-bats split between the Padres and Nationals this season, the veteran slugger is slashing .228/.317/.414 with 19 homers and 60 RBI. He had been dealing with some back tightness near the end of August, but has played without issue over the past couple of weeks.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Tommy Edman went 1-for-4 with a walk-off two-run double in Wednesday’s 6-5 comeback win over the Nationals. Edman had been a ghost for the whole of the game until the ninth, when he cracked an opposite field two-run double against Kyle Finnegan to walk it off for the Cardinals, who had entered the frame trailing by a 5-1 score. The ball was very nearly snared by left fielder Alex Call, who came up just inches short of making an amazing game-ending catch. Overall this season, Edman is working to a .263/.321/.409 triple-slash with 13 homers, 53 RBI, 87 runs scored and 26 steals across 506 at-bats. He has now picked up three doubles over his last five games.
