Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Jalen Beeks will serve as the Rays’ opener on Tuesday against the Mets. Beeks will take the ball for an inning or two before handing the baton to righty Yonny Chirinos, who holds a sparkling 2.22 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 9/10 K/BB ratio across 24 1/3 innings (six appearances, one start) for a bulk relief appearance.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Starling Marte went 2-for-4 and swiped his 11th base of the season as the Mets fell to the Nationals on Monday afternoon in Washington. Marte manufactured the Mets’ first run in the second inning, as he reached on a two-out single, swiped second base, took third on an error then scored on an RBI single by Jeff McNeil. He’s still hitting a paltry .243/.304/.294 with one homer and 10 RBI on the season, but his 11 swipes continue to buoy his fantasy value.
