Tampa Bay Rays DFS Spin
Rays third baseman Isaac Paredes went 1 for 4 with a double in his team’s 3-1 loss to the Orioles on Thursday. Paredes was one of only two Tampa Bay players to record an extra-base hit on Friday. For the season, Isaac Paredes is slashing .294/.387/.503 with 10 homers and 32 RBIs. He has an OPS of 1.150 against Orioles starter Kyle Bradish including a double and a home run, so he might be worth a look in DFS this weekend.
Baltimore Orioles DFS Spin
Orioles second baseman Jorge Mateo had a big day at the plate in his team’s 3-1 win over the Rays on Friday. The 28-year-old from the Dominican Republic went 2 for 4 with a key two-run double in the 6th inning that gave his club the lead. Mateo has an OPS of .752 this season but does have 12 doubles, 3 homers, 12 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases on the campaign. Mateo might be a nice cost-effective middle infield option in DFS on Saturday.

Rays vs. Orioles Betting Prediction
The Orioles have one of the best lineups in all of baseball. For the season, Baltimore ranks second in home runs, seventh in runs, second in slugging percentage, and fifth in OPS this season. Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson is tied for second in the American League in home runs with 18 and Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman is fifth in the AL in batting average this season (.296). When you toss in the fact that Baltimore’s projected starting pitcher for this matchup is Kyle Bradish and his sparkling 1.75 ERA, the case for the Orioles becomes clear. There’s some value in taking the Orioles -1.5 on the run line at +134, but I’ll take the O’s on the money line at home on Saturday afternoon.
