Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Eloy Jimenez went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a loss to the Tigers on Sunday. Not a lot has gone right for the White Sox this season, but Jimenez has continued to deliver when healthy. Sadly, he just continues to get dinged up far too often. The 26-year-old is now hitting .280/.324/.451 with 15 home runs and 54 RBI in 97 games this season.
Kansas City Royals DFS SPIN
Dairon Blanco went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a steal in a loss to the Red Sox on Sunday. Blanco is now up to 18 steals in 52 games despite not starting all of those. He usually starts about two or three games a week, but has delivered when called upon in the speed department. If you’re desperate for steals in deep leagues, he can still be an option.

White Sox vs. Royals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the under. Over their last 10 games, the White Sox have posted a wRC+ of 96, while the Royals’ wRC+ is even lower (77) over a similar timeframe. Ragans has also looked sharp over his last five starts, posting a 2-1 record with a 2.05 ERA and 1.53 FIP across 30 2/3 innings. While Scholtens has struggled over his last five outings (5.47 ERA and a 5.01 FIP across his last 26 1/3 innings), he’s facing a Kansas City offense that has been brutal of late.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: WHITE SOX/ROYALS UNDER 9
