Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Brandon Lowe finished 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, four RBI and a walk as the Rays topped the Yankees 7-4 on Sunday. Lowe homered off Carlos Rodón in the first and singled in a run as part of a four-run sixth inning. He’s had a fine second half to date, hitting .261/.353/.496 with eight homers in 33 games.
Miami Marlins DFS SPIN
Jorge Soler homered Sunday to account for both Marlins runs in a 2-1 win over the Nationals. Soler’s 35th homer means he’s alone in sixth place on the Marlins franchise single-season list. He’s not catching leader Giancarlo Stanton at 59 homers in 2017, but he has a shot of overtaking Gary Sheffield’s 42-homer 1996 season of the second spot and he’s pretty much a lock to get the 38 homers he needs to move into third place.

Rays vs. Marlins MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Civale is 1-0 with a 2.81 ERA and 2.65 FIP across his last three starts (16 innings), while Alcantara is 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA across his last 21 2/3 innings (three starts), but his 4.75 FIP indicates he isn’t pitching as well as his ERA would indicate. The Rays have won eight out of their last 10 games overall, whereas the Marlins have dropped seven out of their last 10 and can’t hit. This is a no brainer for me: Give me the Rays.
