Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Andrew Heaney surrendered three runs in three-plus innings Saturday against the Mariners. Heaney was given six runs to work with in the first two innings, but he had to be pulled in the fourth after a couple of hits and a couple of walks. Fortunately for Heaney, Josh Sborz was able to strand two runners despite entering with the bases loaded and none out. Heaney really deserved worse for giving up six hits and four walks to the 19 batters he faced. He’ll get the Rays next.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Harold Ramírez hit a two-run homer Thursday to help the Rays top the Twins 4-2. It used to be hard for the Rays to play both Ramírez and Luke Raley at the same time, but with Brandon Lowe on the IL and someone usually banged up of late (right now, it’s Yandy Díaz), it’s less of a problem now. Those two came up big in the Rays’ fourth-inning rally today, as Raley tripled in Randy Arozarena, who had walked, and Ramírez followed with a homer. The Rays had only two other hits (both Josh Lowe singles) in the contest.
