Colorado Rockies DFS SPIN
Jurickson Profar went 2-for-5 with a homer against the Marlins on Friday. It’d be nice for the Rockies if Profar could get hot here and generate a little trade value before the deadline; they’d definitely be better off giving his at-bats to Nolan Jones and perhaps later to Sean Bourchard. Profar has been one of the NL’s worst regulars to date, hitting just .242/.323/.379 with Coors helping him along and playing subpar defense in left field.
Miami Marlins DFS SPIN
Johnny Cueto will return to the Marlins’ rotation to start against the Rockies on Saturday. It’ll be Cueto’s second start on the season — and in a Marlins’ uniform — as he was shelved after throwing just one inning in his first start way back in April. Cueto fired three scoreless innings out of the Marlins’ bullpen on Sunday against the Orioles. He is not a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes.

Rockies vs. Marlins MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Cueto fired three scoreless innings out of the Marlins’ bullpen last Sunday against the Orioles but he’s a major risk to get shelled today – even when facing a waker Colorado lineup. Furthermore, this Miami team is in a freefall. Skip Schmuaker and Co. did a great job building hope in the first half, but the Marlins have stumbled out of the gates since the All-Star break. With the Marlins facing an eight-game losing streak, I’m rolling the dice on the Rockies at plus odds.
