Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Josh Lowe went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI on Friday evening, leading the Rays to a 9-6 victory over the Angels in 10 innings. Lowe smacked a two-run double off of Tyler Anderson in the fourth inning that pulled the Rays to within two runs at 5-3. He then added a clutch run-scoring single in the 10th inning that increased the Rays’ advantage to 8-6. With his two-hit attack, the dynamic 25-year-old is now hitting .274/.316/.484 with 15 homers, 62 RBI and 24 stolen bases (in 26 attempts).
Los Angeles Angels DFS SPIN
Shohei Ohtani went 2-for-4 and clobbered a grand slam on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Angels to victory over the Rays. The 29-year-old superstar singled and scored the game’s first run on an RBI double by Mike Moustakas in the opening inning. He then crushed his go-ahead 389-foot blast off of Erasmo Ramirez in the second inning, giving the Halos a 5-1 lead. With his two-hit attack, Ohtani is slashing an absurd .308/.407/.668 with 43 long balls, 89 RBI and 17 stolen bases.
