Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Taj Bradley surrendered five runs — four earned — in 3 2/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Rangers. Bradley walked the leadoff man in both the second and fourth and paid for it both times, giving up three runs in the second and two more in the fourth. He’s allowed 14 runs — 12 earned — over 23 1/3 innings in five starts since returning to the majors last month. He’s probably not going to lose his spot just yet, but if he’s not better next time out, perhaps the Rays will give Elvin Rodríguez or Evan McKendry a try.
Oakland A’s DFS SPIN
Paul Blackburn shut out the Brewers for six innings in a no-decision Saturday. Blackburn left with a one-run lead, but that was lost in the eighth inning. There just aren’t any wins to be had for A’s starters, so even if someone does manage to put together a solid ERA and WHIP, amassing any fantasy value will be difficult. Blackburn has posted a 3.60 ERA in three starts since returning from the IL.
