Colorado Rockies DFS Spin
Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle drove in half of his team’s runs in their 11-4 loss to the Giants on Friday night. In that contest, the 26-year-old from Warrenton, Virginia went 1 for 4 with a triple and 2 RBIs. Doyle is in the midst of a breakout campaign as he’s hitting .278 with 17 homers, 53 RBIs, and an OPS of .824 in 2024. The 6’4” right-handed hitter has been especially good this month. Doyle is batting .380 with 10 homers, 24 RBIs, and a 1.337 OPS across 71 July at-bats. He’s a good bet to stay hot so you can plug him into your DFS lineups this weekend.
San Francisco Giants DFS Spin
Giants shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald had a career day at the dish in his club’s 11-4 win over the Rockies on Friday night. In that contest, the Springfield, Illinois native hit second in the order and went 3 for 5 with 2 homers, 4 RBIs, and 3 runs scored. Fitzgerald has been great in limited action this season as he’s hitting .330 with 8 homers, 18 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.060 across 110 plate appearances. The rookie right-handed hitter is batting .341 at home this season, making him worth a look for Saturday’s game in most DFS formats.

Rockies vs. Giants Betting Prediction
The Rockies have been the worst team in the National League all season. Colorado is tied for the worst record in the NL with the Marlins as both teams are 38-66 straight up in 2024. The Rockies have the worst run differential in the senior circuit at -164 this year. Some other numbers back up the case for Colorado’s ineptitude this year. The Rockies are 14-37 straight up as a road underdog and 34-54 straight up when playing on no rest this season. Furthermore, Colorado is 12-19 straight up in division games and 23-47 straight up in National League games this season. San Francisco isn’t a great team by any means, but I like their chances of defeating the worst team in the NL at home on Saturday night. I’m taking the Giants on the money line in this one.
