Cincinnati Reds DFS Spin
Reds third baseman Jeimer Candelario had a huge day at the dish in his team’s 4-2 win over the Guardians on Wednesday. In that contest, Candelario hit third in the order and went 3 for 4 with 2 homers, 4 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. That power outburst is part of a current hot streak for the native of New York, NY.
Over the past 15 days, Jeimer Canderlario is slashing .309/.333/.636 with 3 doubles, 5 homers, 11 RBIs, 7 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases. You might have to pay a premium in DFS, but Candelario could be worth it on Friday.
Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin
Brewers shortstop Willy Adames was superb in his team’s 5-4 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday. In that contest, the native of Santiago, Dominican Republic went 1 for 4 with a homer, 2 RBIs, a walk, and a run scored. For the season, Adames leads the Brewers in home runs with 11, is tied for the team lead in RBIs with 47, and is tied for the team lead in doubles with 17.
Adames has also had success against projected Reds starter Hunter Greene. In 12 career at-bats against Greene, Willy Adames is slashing .250/.357/.750 with 2 walks, 2 homers, and 3 RBIs. Adames is worth consideration in most DFS formats on Friday as well as for the rest of the weekend.

Furthermore, the Brewers are 16-8 straight up against division opponents and 14-6 straight up as home favorites this season.
