Minnesota Twins DFS SPIN
Louie Varland logged a quality start in Friday night’s loss to the Blue Jays, surrendering three runs on seven hits over his six frames. The right-hander punched out three batters on the night and didn’t issue a base on balls. All of the damage done against him came via the long ball in the third inning, as Kevin Kiermaier crushed a solo homer and Bo Bichette added a two-run blast. That was all the run support that Kevin Gausman and company would require on the other side. Varland got 10 swings and misses on 100 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 26 percent. He’ll carry a 4.24 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into a tough matchup against the Astros in Houston on Wednesday.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Hunter Brown recorded 10 strikeouts and allowed two runs over seven innings on Friday in a win over the Athletics. Brown was lights out in Oakland on Friday, tossing 61-of-88 pitches for strikes while generating 15 whiffs to pile up 10 punch outs. He issued just one walk and allowed four hits, including a two-run shot by Seth Brown in the seventh for the A’s only runs. The 24-year-old right-hander improves to 5-1 with a 3.12 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 66 strikeouts across 57 2/3 innings. He’s in line for a matchup against the Twins in Houston on Wednesday.
