Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Aaron Nola blanked the Braves for six innings in a no-decision Thursday. Nola generated just eight missed swings with an 18% CSW today, but he also allowed only four hard-hit balls and two hits. It’s his eighth quality start in 16 tries this season. He’s pitched six innings in all but two of his starts, but he’s given up at least four earned runs in six of those. Nola will face the Cubs next.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Jameson Taillon will start on Tuesday against the Phillies. Taillon gets the ball for Tuesday’s series opener against the Phillies as the Cubs re-shuffle their starting rotation following a two-game weekend series against the Cardinals across the pond in London. He’ll be followed by Drew Smyly and Kyle Hendricks on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
