Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Masataka Yoshida went hitless (0-2) in the game two loss to the Rays. Boston’s postseason aspirations have been altered due to competing in the toughest division in sports, but they may have found a gem with Yoshida. The first-year outfielder has transitioned nicely into the majors, as he hit above .300 for a strong portion of the season, and developed into a consistent hitter alongside Rafa Devers. Yoshida was enjoying a six-game hit streak prior to the short outing versus Tampa, with doubles in three straight games before yesterday’s contest, so he may be in for some production here Thursday. Yoshida is batting an impressive .287, with 15 home runs and 71 runs batted in thru 137 games.
Baltimore Orioles DFS Spin
Adley Rutschman went 2-4, with a single and a homer in the game two win over Washington. Rutschman took over the regional battle last night after being held hitless in game one, and with a division crown in reach, we should see more production from the offensive-minded backstop. The Portland native has recorded a hit in nine of the last ten games, collecting a double in five of those contests, while tallying multiple hits in five of them as well. Rutschman is batting .276, with 20 homers and 79 RBI over 151 games.

Red Sox vs. Orioles MLB BETTING PREDICTION
The tide has turned in the AL East this season, as Baltimore finds themselves in the driver’s seat to win it, while Boston finds themselves in the cellar, and away from playoff contention. In the Red Sox defense, there are a handful of divisions they could win in this league, they just happen to play in the best one, and they’ve gone cold this month, as the motivation just hasn’t been there. Boston isn’t producing well at the plate, and Baltimore simply has more to play for this weekend. The Orioles should win this series, and things should start off on a strong note this Thursday. Back Baltimore for game one of this divisional series.
Red Sox vs. Orioles MLB BETTING PREDICTION: Baltimore -1.5 (+158)
