Minnesota Twins DFS SPIN
Carlos Correa homered in Wednesday’s loss to the Tigers, running his hitting streak to five games. Correa had been struggling mightily, so the five-game hitting streak is a big deal. Over that span, he’s gone 7-for-19 with two home runs and eight RBI. On the season, he’s still hitting just .228/.301/.401 with 14 home runs and 53 RBI, so it has been a tremendously disappointing season for the veteran. He obviously needs to be held as long as he’s riding his hot streak, but it wouldn’t be a shock if we see another cold stretch later in the season.
Detroit Tigers DFS SPIN
Spencer Torkelson had two home runs in a 9-5 victory over the Twins on Wednesday. Torkelson was 2-for-4 on the day with two RBI and three runs scored. He took Bailey Ober deep in the fifth inning before cranking a 415-foot shot in the seventh for his 17th home run of the season. Both were solo shots, which moves his season RBI total to 61. The second-year pro had been hitting just .120 to start August, so the strong effort on Wednesday could get him back to his mini July hot streak. He’s hitting .225/.304/.406 on the season and has yet to live up to his draft pedigree.

Twins vs. Tigers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Maeda is 3-6 on the year with a 4.22 ERA on the season but if you dive deeper, he is 3-2 with a 2.47 ERA over his last eight starts. Over those 43 2/3 innings, he has 58 strikeouts and has looked like a different pitcher than the one in the first half of the season. On the other side, Olson is 1-5 with a 4.94 ERA and has struggled in his last three starts. He has allowed at least four earned runs each time. Give me the Twins.
