Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Gavin Sheets went 1-for-3 with a solo home run against the Tigers on Tuesday. Sheets is a good platoon bat if you can spare the fantasy roster spot for someone who doesn’t play every day, as 105 of his 109 at-bats have come against right-handers and he’s got a .798 OPS against them. He clobbered a 92 MPH Alex Faedo fastball to right field for the only White Sox homer against Detroit, and also had a 97.9 MPH lineout against Faedo in the second.
Detroit Tigers DFS SPIN
Akil Baddoo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Detroit’s 7-2 win over the White Sox. Baddoo was replaced by Zack Short in the middle of the game, but at least he managed to put a charge into one before he left. The 24-year-old is rebounding from a tough 2022 season, hitting .257/.355/.371 in a part-time role with four steals and 14 runs scored. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has mostly hit him sixth or seventh and has been happy to replace him, leaving him as tough to trust in fantasy despite a .293/.396/.488 surge over his past 15 games.
