Washington Nationals DFS Spin
Nationals right fielder Alex Call reached base 4 times in his club’s 9-8 loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday night. In that contest, the Burnsville, MN native went 2 for 3 with a homer, 3 RBIs, a run scored, and 2 walks. Call is batting .368 with 1 homer, 4 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.117 across 26 plate appearances this year. Alex Call is batting .400 in away games this season, which gives him some DFS value on the road in Arizona on Tuesday.
Arizona Diamondbacks DFS Spin
Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte drove in one-third of his team’s runs in their 9-8 comeback win over the Nationals on Monday night. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, Marte went 3 for 5 with a homer, 3 RBIs, and a run scored. The switch hitter from the Dominican Republic is having a fantastic season as he’s batting .299 with 24 homers, 71 RBIs, and a .911 OPS across 451 plate appearances in 2024. Ketel Marte is hitting .352 with an OPS of 1.116 against left-handed pitching this season. That makes the Diamondbacks second baseman worth a look in DFS against Nats southpaw Patrick Corbin on Tuesday.

Nationals vs. Diamondbacks Betting Prediction
Washington will send out lefty starter Patrick Corbin on Tuesday against Arizona. He’s having a tough year, to put it lightly. Corbin is 2-10 with an ERA of 5.26 and a WHIP of 1.46 this season. He’s been getting crushed regularly in his sixth year with Washington. Opposing batters are hitting .290 with an OPS of .821 against Corbin in 2024. His road numbers are even worse. In road games this season, opposing batters are hitting .326 against Patrick Corbin. His road ERA is a bloated 5.52 on the campaign. Arizona should have enough offensive firepower to get to Patrick Corbin early and often in this one. I’m taking the Diamondbacks on the money line at home on Tuesday night.
