San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Joe Musgrove tossed seven innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts on Friday in a win over the Nationals. Musgrove had an excellent outing against the Nationals, retiring his first seven batters before working around a pair of hits in the third inning. A double and a base hit would bring in a run in the sixth. Musgrove would go seven innings on the day, striking out seven batters to no walks. The 30-year-old right-hander will take a 3.88 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 55/15 K/BB across 60 1/3 innings into a start against the Pirates in Pittsburgh next week.
Pittsburgh Pirates DFS SPIN
Luis Ortiz was outstanding in a victory over the Marlins on Friday night, allowing just one run on seven hits over his eight innings of work. The right-hander struck out five on the night while issuing two walks in the ballgame. He actually exited the game after eight innings with a 1-0 deficit, but the Pirates rallied in the ninth to put him in line for the victory. The lone tally against him came on an RBI single off the bat of Jesus Sanchez in the opening inning. After that, he was brilliant. Ortiz got 12 swings and misses on 97 pitches in the ballgame, registering a CSW of 28 percent. He’ll look to further improve upon his 3.74 ERA and 1.62 WHIP when he takes on the Padres at home on Thursday.
