Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam of MassLive.com report the Red Sox have told other clubs they’re willing to listen to offers for outfielder Alex Verdugo. Verdugo has been scuffling at the dish recently, and is slated to reach free agency at the conclusion of next season. The two sides have reportedly had discussions regarding a long-term contract extension, but clearly those haven’t gone anywhere. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Boston take advantage of the lack of quality bats on the trade market and see what they can spin Verdugo into in an effort to bolster their long-term future.
Seattle Mariners DFS SPIN
Eugenio Suárez went 2-for-5 and drove in a run on Sunday as the Mariners shut out the Diamondbacks in Arizona. The 32-year-old third baseman drove in the final run of the ballgame with an RBI single in the ninth inning. He struck out in each of his three other plate appearances in the contest. He has definitely picked up the pace offensively over the past month or so, but is still hitting just .226/.321/.381 to go with 14 homers and 64 RBI on the year.

Red Sox vs. Mariners MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Pivetta is 7-5 with a 4.11 ERA and will be making his first start since beating the Mariners 9-4 on May 16. Since moving to the bullpen, Pivetta has a 1.98 ERA while holding batters to a .128 average, but can he have the same success as a starter? That remains the biggest question with Pivetta. On the other side, Kirby is 9-8 with a 3.49 ERA and is 1-1- with a 4.86 ERA in three career starts against the Red Sox. I’m not concerned about his previous outings against Boston. Give me Kirby and Seattle tonight.
