Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Jonah Heim had a grand slam and an RBI double Monday as the Rangers defeated the Blue Jays 10-4. Maybe Heim’s damaged wrist is starting to feel better. Coming into the night, he had hit .167/.214/.242 with one homer and seven RBI in 70 plate appearances since coming off the IL on Aug. 13. Because the wrist has been a factor, we still probably wouldn’t trust him as the lone catcher in 10- or 12-team leagues down the stretch here.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Brandon Belt was removed from Monday’s showdown against the Rangers with lower back muscle spasms. It’s difficult to envision a scenario where Belt doesn’t wind up landing on the injured list after failing to make it through his first contest back following a lengthy absence due to an ongoing back issue.

Rangers vs. Blue Jays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
They burned me last night, but I’m going back to the well with Toronto tonight. Ryu owns a .227 wOBA and a .182 batting average against when facing Texas’ current roster. His expected stats are all strong as well, with a .250 xwOBA, a .195 expected batting average and a .255 slugging percentage against Texas’ current roster. The Rangers, meanwhile, have a .340 wOBA and a .250 batting average against versus Scherzer. That said, the Rangers’ xwOBA of .396, the .295 expected batting average against and a .557 expected slugging all suggest the Blue Jays can get to Scherzer tonight.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: TORONTO BLUE JAYS -112
