Baltimore Orioles DFS SPIN
Trey Mancini went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts against the Reds on Sunday. The inside-the-park homer that Mancini was credited with on a routine fly Thursday is his only extra-base hit in 11 games, as he finds himself in a 6-for-42 slump. That’s not great for the Orioles, who were hoping to bring back quality prospects in return for his services. He’s currently at .268/.347/.404 for the year.
Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-4 with a three-run double in Sunday’s 5-2 victory over the Angels. Duran stepped up to the dish with the bases juiced in the top of the ninth and hit a 370-foot, bases-clearing double towards the right-center field gap. The rookie infielder is slashing .242/.286/.384 with two home runs and three stolen bases over the first 105 plate appearances of his MLB career.
