Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Corey Seager went 2-for-4 with homer in a tough loss to the Twins on Thursday. If it weren’t for Shohei Ohtani, Seager would have an excellent case to be the MVP of the American League. The fantasy superstar is hitting .345/.414/.658 with 24 homers and 77 RBI across 382 plate appearances this season and is one extra-base hit away from tying his total from last year, with over a month left in the season.
Minnesota Twins DFS SPIN
Michael A. Taylor went 2-for-3 with two homers against the Rangers on Thursday. Taylor went deep in back-to-back at-bats, with his last one flying 422 feet the other way. With the two big flies, the 32-year-old tied his career-high in homers with 19, which he will surely pass with more than a month left in the regular season. His defense keeps him in the lineup but the Twins have to be pleasantly surprised with his power production this season.

Rangers vs. Twins MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the under. Dunning owns a 3.50 ERA and 3.65 FIP over his last three starts (18 innings), while Gray is 2-2 with a 2.81 ERA and 2.10 FIP over his last four starts (25 2/3 innings). The Rangers have also struggled offensively over the past week, posting an 83 wRC+ over that span, so I envision runs being at a premium tonight at Target Field.
