Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Marcus Semien went 2-5, with a double and two strikeouts in the game two loss to Arizona. The Rangers find themselves in the midst of an untimely slump, Semien has remained a consistent presence at the top of the lineup. The 2x All-Star had multiple hits in both contests in Phoenix, and he’s recorded a hit in nine of the last eleven games, while totaling multiple bases in eight of them. Semien leads the team in hits (146), with splits of .279/19/79.
Minnesota Twins DFS SPIN
Max Kepler went 2-4 with a walk and a double in the interleague loss to Milwaukee. The Twins have been late bloomers when it’s come to production, but after leaning heavily on their pitching thru the first portion of the season, a few of their bats have started to wake up, with a familiar face leading the charge. Kepler has spent his whole career in the Twin Cities, and he’s putting together his best season since 2018. Kepler has collected a hit in seven of the previous nine games, and he’s recorded an extra-base hit in four of the last five. Kepler is tied for the team-lead in home runs (20), with 48 RBI for the season.

Rangers vs. Twins MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Texas is headed the wrong way at the wrong time, and while they’ve got to stop the bleeding at some point, they will face a stiff test here with Pablo Lopez set to go. The swap of Lopez for Luis Arraez has paid dividends for both sides, and the flame throwing is coming into this matchup on a tear. Lopez has tossed nineteen straight scoreless frames, and while that streak might not after tomorrow, he’s trustworthy here at home. Beware of a wading Texas team here, but let’s roll with Minnesota at home for game one.
