Baltimore Orioles DFS SPIN
Adley Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and a double in Thursday’s win over the Blue Jays. The homer tied things up in the fifth before the Orioles took the lead in the sixth. Austin Hays added a solo homer in the bottom of the eighth for insurance. Rutschman is now up to nine homers on the season to go along with a strong .282/.392/.431 batting line.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Ian Happ went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI in Chicago’s 7-2 win over the Pirates on Thursday. He doubled, tripled, and singled. Happ’s carrying a .268/.390/.406 line on the season, walking much more than he did in 2022, but hitting for less power. He has five homers and five steals. Happ’s OBP-heavy approach is great for his real-life value, but it’s not helping him much in fantasy baseball.
