Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Luis Robert Jr. homered on Wednesday in the White Sox’ loss to the Mets. The home run was Robert Jr’s only hit of the game and one of just three hits for Chicago on the night. While the 25-year-old was just 1-for-4 on the evening, he’s been on fire in July, hitting .302 with four home runs, 11 RBI, and three steals. He’s now up to 28 home runs on the year and is finally healthy enough to make good on the promise he flashed in earlier seasons.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Francisco Alvarez stayed hot on Wednesday with two hits in the Mets’ win over the White Sox. The young catcher went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in the contest. For the season, he’s now slashing .247/.306/.534 with 19 home runs and 40 RBI. While the batting average isn’t eye-popping, the power has stood out, and Alvarez seems to be hitting his stride this summer. So far in July, he’s hitting .380 with seven home runs and 14 RBI and has been one of the lone consistent bright spots for the Mets this season.

White Sox vs. Mets MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Kopech is just 3-8 on the season and has posted a 4.47 ERA on the year. He took the loss last Friday, allowing four runs in just two-thirds of an inning as the White Sox fell 9-0 to the Braves. While Atlanta has a significantly more productive lineup than New York, the Mets are still dangerous offensively. They look to be turning the corner slowly, winning six out of their last 10 games. I’ll back the Mets and Quintana, who will face his former team this afternoon.
