Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Andrew Vaughn delivered a tie-breaking two-run double on Thursday, lifting the White Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Astros. Vaughn came through with a two-run double to center field in the top of the ninth inning, after Yasmani Grandal swatted a game-tying solo homer in the previous frame, to propel the White Sox to a narrow win in a low-scoring pitcher’s duel. The 24-year-old former top prospect is taking over as Chicago’s everyday first baseman this season.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Yordan Alvarez crushed a solo homer on Thursday in the Astros’ season-opening loss to the White Sox. Alvarez slashed the Astros’ deficit to a single run with a gargantuan 442-foot ninth-inning moonshot off hard-throwing righty Reynaldo López. The 25-year-old fantasy superstar has shown zero signs of rust, despite missing the majority of spring training due to a left hand issue. He’ll receive the occasional day off as the Astros monitor his workload at the outset of the season, but he remains as productive as ever with a bat in his hands.
