Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Randy Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer as the Rays defeated the Yankees Tuesday night. It was Arozarena’s 18th long ball of the season. The All-Star outfielder had been in a funk recently, slashing just 153/.223/.259 in the month of July but must have flipped a switch when he changed his calendar to August. On the season, the 28-year-old is hitting .257/.364/.440 and is easily positioning himself into a top ten-round draft pick next season.
New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Yankees transferred C Jose Trevino to the 60-day injured list. Nothing has changed in Trevino’s prognosis, as he underwent season-ending surgery at the end of July. This was merely done as a procedural move to open up a spot on the Yankees’ 40-man roster for Tuesday’s deadline additions.

Rays vs. Yankees MLB BETTING PREDICTION
McClanahan wasn’t at his best in a no-decision against the Astros on Friday night, surrendering three runs on eight hits in his five innings of work. He’s now posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 118/41 K/BB ratio (111 innings) this season. On the other side, Cole shut out the Orioles for seven innings in a no-decision Friday. He’s allowed a total of three runs in three starts since the All-Star break and has posted a 1-1 record while turning in five quality starts with a 2.20 ERA and a 36/5 K/BB ratio in the month of July. The under makes a lot of sense given the pitching matchup tonight, but I see more value in the Yankees on the moneyline.
