Texas Rangers DFS Spin
Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien drove in the majority of his team’s runs in their 7-5 loss to the Mariners on Saturday. In that contest, Semien hit leadoff and went 3 for 4 with a double and 3 RBIs. Over the past 15 days, Marcus Semien is slashing .315/.422/.463 with 2 homers, 6 RBIs, 11 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases. Semien’s consistency makes him worthy of DFS consideration in most formats despite the relatively high price tag.
Seattle Mariners DFS Spin
Mariners third baseman Josh Rojas had a monster day at the plate in his team’s 7-5 win over the Rangers on Saturday night. In that game, the Arizona native went 2 for 3 with a homer, 3 RBIs, 3 runs scored, and 2 walks. Rojas has hit better at home (.834 OPS) than on the road (.639 OPS) this season. He’s also hit better during the day (.923 OPS) than at night (.646 OPS) this year. Sunday’s clash with the Rangers is a day game at home, and Josh Rojas (a left-handed hitter) will have the platoon edge over Texas right-handed starter Dane Dunning. For all of those reasons, Rojas is worth a look in most DFS formats on Sunday.

Rangers vs. Mariners Betting Prediction
Mariners projected starter Logan Gilbert has already faced the Rangers this season. On April 23rd in Arlington, Gilbert fired 6.2 innings of shutout baseball, permitting only 2 hits and 4 walks. He struck out 6 batters and threw 59 of his 100 pitches for strikes. The Mariners wound up winning that game 4-0. Gilbert’s mound opponent in that game? None other than Dane Dunning, who will be taking the ball for Texas on Sunday.
Dunning didn’t fare too well in that April 23rd contest as he allowed 4 earned runs in 4.1 innings, walked 2 batters, allowed 2 homers, and took the loss. I think this matchup favors Gilbert and the Mariners more than that one did, as Seattle has the 4th-best home record in baseball this season. I like the Mariners to win this game outright and complete the 3-game sweep at home on Sunday afternoon.
